Borrell blames bungling bosses

Why aren't Razorlight big in America?

Funnily enough, "perhaps recording a song effectively calling a country a bit rubbish and saying that, culturally, it offers nothing that means anything to you isn't the best way to build a wide audience within that country" was our first answer, too.

And, yes, "maybe they're just not good enough to compete in a nation which has its own supply of second-rate renovation yard Rolling Stones projects" was also our second answer.

Johnny Borrell, though, is blaming his record label instead:

"We pretty much had no effort whatsoever. It's been very frustrating."

Perhaps it's your own fault for missing the sign saying "no shirt, no shoes, no sales" taped up above the entrance to the country, Johnny?

I would say the fact that Razorlight are just musically dull would have a lot to do with it...

A lot but not everything. How do explain the success of Coldplay and James Blunt in the States?

I agree with you about Razorlight, per se, but being "musically dull" has never been a barrier to success in America (or the UK).
