Editors are a British indie rock band based in Birmingham, who formed in 2002. Previously known as Pilot, The Pride and Snowfield, the band consists of Tom Smith (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano), Chris Urbanowicz (lead guitar and synthesizer), Russell Leetch (bass guitar synth and live backing vocals) and Ed Lay (drums, percussion and live backing vocals).
Editors have so far released two platinum studio albums, selling over two million copies between them worldwide. Their debut album The Back Room was released in 2005. It contained hits such as "Munich" and "Blood" and the following year received a Mercury Prize nomination. Their follow-up album An End Has A Start went to number 1 in the UK Album Chart in June 2007 and earned the band a Brit Awards nomination for best British Band. It also spawned another Top 10 hit single with the release of "Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors".
After their continued success in the charts, sold out tours and numerous headlining festival slots, Editors were lauded as the second biggest British band of the decade after Arctic Monkeys by The Mail on Sunday newspaper. Their brand of dark indie rock is habitually compared to the sound of bands such as Echo & the Bunnymen, Joy Division, Interpol and U2. The band's third album, In This Light and On This Evening, was released in October 2009.

I cant believe they didnt had a thread, they remind me of Joy Division so much.

Thanks Karen for the video and the thread bump! I'm really loving the new CD, I know a lot of people don't like their "new sound", but I think their songs have even more depth now.

^I like In This Light and On This Evening, but An End Has A Start is my favourite of them. I really liked the riffs and Tom's voice. They are still my new found treasure, I love them, I'm so glad I've discovered them.

This thread is in serious need, so I'm gonna try to help. Some videos from icolumbia/Editor's official.
