The Alternative-Rock Pop-Rock act Editors, comprised of vocalist + guitarist
& pianist Tom Smith, guitarist + synthesizer player 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 U.K. top 10 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 its second LP "An End Has A Start";
the 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 and debuted on the American Billboard Top 200 list at #117.
The title-track was the second single off the CD, it topped out at #27
in their native England.
Released in October 2009, "In This Light And On This Evening",
marks the start of a new chapter for Editors, the band came together in
London for the recording sessions with super producer Mark 'Flood' Ellis
at the start of 2009 with a determination to push their sound into wholly
new territory, they've by and large ditched the guitars in favor of synthesizers.
The album, which features the single "Papillon", shot to #1
in Great Britain.
