We Are Scientists – Qualifying Miles
Track List A Prelude To What Starry Eyed Dead Letters The Big One Please Don't Say It The Same Mistake What You Want Is Gone A Lesson I Never Learned I Could Do Much Worse I Already Hate This At The Mall In My Dreams Promise Me We Are Scientists are legends in the scene, a band which have carried the banner for indie since 2000. Their music has an ethereal quality to it, and an atmospheric feel. Their latest record, Qualifying Miles, takes this pull to new heights. There is subtlety here within the album, delivering a great mix of sadness and shuddering anticipation, helping to show the band's diversity. They are an intelligent outfit, putting in lyrics that tell tales of modern strife and dirty decadence. 'A Prelude To What' begins the record, mixing in styles of indie and rock. The band sings in unison, as their anxieties teeter on the line while Truth burns through. 'The Big One' starts with smoky vocals and a brilliant, percussive balance. Then, the electric guitar and bass come in to create a loud, unapologetic sound, making for a very engrossing track. 'The Same Mistake' offers many musical aspects here, including a solid backbeat, and brilliant lyrics. The band again is hurting and craving for assurance and love. Overall, We Are Scientists has designed an album that shows their best side, and while they walk sad and stricken, they know they have conquered with the music.

Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows on his homecoming gig next week
For the other members of Razorlight it will be another night on a headline tour during the rockers resurgence, but for Andy Burrows it will be a homecoming. The drummer, who is set to play Southampton's 02 Guildhall on Saturday, April 26, as part of the band's latest UK headline tour, grew up in Winchester and has childhood memories of watching gigs and appearing at the venue. It's the opening night of the tour and the excitement is building for Burrows, who joined We Are Scientists during Razorlight's ten year hiatus and has also written for Tom O'Dell and Editors. He told the Daily Echo: "I haven't lived in Winchester for a long time. I moved out when I was 23 and I'm 45 now. But it will always be home to me. "We don't have a family home there any more, but quite a lot of family and friends are still there. It always feels amazing to come home whatever you're doing, but to play nearby is so special. "I think playing locally with Razorlight will be particularly special as it feels good to be part of something that got pretty big when I just think of myself as the teenager who played percussion at the Guildhall with the Hampshire County Youth Band. "I've loved the venue since I saw Blur touring Modern Life is Rubbish there at my first gig when I was 13." Andy, one of the sons of well-known Winchester GP Frank Burrows, attended the Westgate School and Peter Symonds College. He was there when Razorlight formed in 2002, the band going on to perform worldwide and produce massive hits including America, a UK number one. The band split a few years after Andy departed in 2009. Him, Johnny Borrell, Bjorn Agren and Carl Dalemo reformed in 2021 and promise more musical adventures to come. He co-wrote the soundtrack to The Snowman and The Snowdog with Ilan Eshkeri, which was nominated for a BAFTA. Now a dad of two girls, he lives in the Cotswolds with his family. Tickets from
