One ep: Satellite, released in 2003, witnessed in Tower Records, Grafton Street, Dublin ... A good thousand copies apparently, and now, hardly a trace on the internet. *Gone!* Did they die an early death? And more importantly, did they record an album? If they did, it may well be called Satellite. Moody orchestral post-rock, a little bit Godspeed You! Black Emperor...
HOT TIP : If you're curious to hear the album, try googling "Northlight Razorblade", and rummage around ...

ONLY KNOWN REVIEW
"There’s a brooding ambience to Northlight Razorblades floating pop chamber orchestra that works. I’m a sucker for a bit of cello and there’s a well stated underplay in the bands sound, utilising space and noise where appropriate rather than in high density. 4 Tracks here and It’s all very 4AD in it’s delivery, which probably points to but a fraction of their inspiration catchment.
