The Alternative-Rock Pop-Rock act Editors, comprised of vocalist+guitarist
Tom Smith, guitarist Chris Urbanowicz, bassist Russell Leetch and drummer
Ed Lay first came together in 2003. Having founded the band at University
in Stafford, ENGLAND, on graduation the four relocated to Birmingham as
it was both the nearest big city and the home of their management.
Editors signed with the independent label Kitchenware in late 2004 and
released their first single, "Bullets", in January 2005.
The group's debut album, "The Back Room", arrived in July of
that same year cracking the top 20 of the U.K. Official chart, but continued
to find fans throughout the autumn as the band interspersed a growing
interest in Europe with a constant live schedule in England. A support
tour through mainland Europe and the U.K. with Franz
Ferdinand at the close of 2005 saw the culmination of an amazing year
for Editors.
2006 has continued to bring good news for the band, "Munich"
in January gave the band their first top 10 U.K. single and their first
album stormed to the top of the national sales chart falling just one
position short of #1.
Editors returned in June 2007 with their second LP "An End Has A
Start"; its first single, "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors",
peaked at #6 on the U.K. Top 40 chart while the album rose to #1 on the
British Pop chart.
