Stafford, England (2003 – present)
Editors are a British indie rock/post-punk revival band from Birmingham, England, composed of Tom Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Chris Urbanowicz (guitar), Russ Leetch (bass) and Ed Lay (drums), who met while studying at Staffordshire University, in Stafford, England during 2003. They take their inspiration from bands such as Echo & The Bunnymen, R.E.M., Joy Division and Elbow. Many people cite New York band Interpol as an influence but this has been adamantly denied by the band.
The band were originally known as (The) Pride, before they changed their line-up and became known as Snowfield, becoming a popular unsigned band. They remained with this name until they signed with Kitchenware Records in September 2004.
The band’s debut single
Bullets was released as a limited edition of 500 on Kitchenware Records on January 24, 2005; it quickly gained support from radio stations such as Xfm and BBC 6 Music - where it was the single of the week.
Their debut album, The Back Room, was released on 25 July 2005, to critical acclaim. The band toured out most of 2005, including two jaunts with We Are Scientists. However, after a pivotal support slot on Franz Ferdinand’s Arena tour at the end of 2005, it was the re-release of singleMunich in January 2006 that propelled them into the top 10 of the UK single’s chart. The following May, Editors played three sell-out shows at London’s Brixton Academy, and countless gigs worldwide. The album has now sold over 500,000 units.
The track French Disko on the b-side of the single is a Stereolab cover.

Call me crazy, but I was a huge fan of Editors' old albums.. so you'd think I'd hate the new album? WRONG. I think it's absolutely amazing and creative! Even though I honestly did not believe that "Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool" is by Editors! You could swear it's by a different band! I am happy to see them moving slightly away from Joy Division's style, the "less depressing" style suits them a lot more.

I wasn't so into the new album, but after seeing it live yesterday it makes so much more sense and it almost makes for a more dynamic live show with all the elements.

As much as I absolutely adore An End Has A Start, I just cannot get into the Editors' newest album at all. In this Light...just sounds weak in comparison to An End has a Start. Please don't hurt me.
