Razors in the Night is an American punk rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 2009. The band was founded by Troy Schoeller (Vocals), who recruited four friends, Todd Wilson, guitar (ex-Beware!), Ian Clark, guitar (ex-Pure Impact), Swid, bass (Acrobrats). The band name is taken from a Blitz song. Their sound is somewhat anomalous, fusing hardcore, Oi!, and a touch of garage rock.
Their songs range from the thrashy, in-your-face assault, "Hipster Holocaust", to the catchy "Carry On", to the anthemic Oi! ballad, "Skinheads Alright." Lyrical topics include drugs, alcohol, unemployment, depression, heartache, loose women with looser ethics, and Clamweiser[1] Their musical influences include Oi! and Boston hardcore bands such as The Last Resort, Blitz, 4-Skins, Condemned 84, Blood for Blood, Slapshot, American Nightmare, Dropkick Murphys, Darkbuster, Death Before Dishonor, Snapcase, The Haunted, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, GG Allin & The Jabbers, The Who, Motörhead, Perkele, and Stomper 98.[2]
