Artist Biography

Editors are a British rock band from Birmingham, England, comprised of Tom Smith (lyricist/vocalist/guitarist), Chris Urbanowicz (guitarist), Russ Leetch (bass guitarist) and Ed Lay (drummer). Ostensibly taking their inspiration from bands such as Interpol and Joy Division, the band were originally dismissed as "Boy Division", but achieved success through combining such post-punk tendencies with chart sensibilities and an ear for a pleasant melody.

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 6 Music.

Their debut album, The Back Room, was released on 25 July 2005, to critical acclaim.

The track "French Disko" on the b-side of the Munich single is a Stereolab cover.
