Andy Burrows @ The Ruby Lounge February 24, 2013

Multi-instrumentalist Andy Burrows began his career as drummer for Razorlight, having replaced the band's original percussionist. Razorlight had already recorded their debut album, Up All Night, by the time Burrows joined the group. Unlike most drummers, however, Burrows was also a skilled songwriter, and his contributions to Razorlight's 2 subsequent albums helped shape the band's sound. He later used those songwriting skills to launch a solo career. A second Razorlight LP arrived in summer 2006 & went multi-platinum in Europe, thanks in part to a chart-topping single "America," penned by Burrows himself.

Burrows also wrote songs for a bedroom solo project & used his free time to record the material, playing all the instruments & basing the songs around a book of poetry by an old family friend. The resulting LP, Colour of My Dreams, was released by Razorlight's label, Mercury Records. One year later, he left Razorlight's lineup & joined We Are Scientists instead. His solo projects continued, though, & he unveiled his latest band, the quirky pop outfit I Am Arrows in 2010.

He has also released music with Tom Smith from Editors under the moniker “Smith & Burrows”. More recently he has released music under his own name including the singles “Keep On Moving On” & “Because I Know That I Can”. His new solo album “Company” was released in October 2012. Andy also recorded the soundtrack to Channel 4's sequel to The Snowman, airing on TV last Christmas.

The next single from the album "Hometown" will be released on 24th December 2012.
