He said: ''There's a whole new energy in it because we've got the new guys [in the band].

''Our first record was the garage rock 'n' roll record, the second record was the pop record, the third was the difficult break-up record and I thought if I could get the energy of the first one and some of the irresistibility of the second one, that's what we're going for.

''It's very, very nearly finished. I'm so in love with making music again.''

Johnny is enjoying work so much, he says he is willing to perform ''anywhere''.

He added to NME magazine: ''My philosophy at the moment is I will play anywhere at any point for whatever.

According to Borrell, "We’ve had some amusing arguments. Very Spinal Tap. We were Spinal Tap from the start, before we’d even sold a record – it was amazing. It was like, I thought I asked for a hotel room with a bath in it, not a shower… before we’d even put a single out".


Previous weekend, Borrell and bandmate David Sullivan Kaplan were speaking to NME at V Festival and also revealed which band member goes missing the most, Borrell explained that “Fred [Stitz] zips in and out of dimensions – sometimes he takes you with him as well, it’s brilliant.” Kaplan added: “We practically left him in Chelmsford yesterday. The bus was literally driving off site and we realised he wasn’t on it… we had to put him in a net a drag him onto the bus.”

Wimbledon Championship

Now frontman Freddie Stitz, Gus Robertson and David 'Skully' Sullivan Kaplan Bjorn Agren and Carl Dalemo departure of drummer Andy Burrows acrimoniously soon after joined the band is following up and the Singer insists that any bad feeling with his old bandmates for their musical bond had "run its course".

He said: "I've got nothing bad to say about anyone I make music with. All that happened was we were trying to make a record, it wasn't really working, and I thought, 'I could sit here and work out, make a plan of what I could do. Or I could just do something.'

"So I rented a studio and sat down and said, 'Look, I've met some other people.' A band breaking up is like a relationship ending – you know it's right to move on but that doesn't mean it's not painful.

"Absolutely everything that was going on, I was sitting down and talking to Bjorn and Carl all the time. But in terms of us making music together it had just run its course."

Despite the line-up change, Johnny
believes that the band is now closer than ever is the original.

He told NME magazine: "It weirdly feels closer to when Razorlight started than anything felt over the last seven years, because there's an honesty and an energy there.

"It's not precious. And at points Razorlight were quite precious, it was like, 'If we're not headlining the festival, we're not doing it.' And that wasn't coming from me."
