"Editors are an indie rock band from Birmingham, England, who met studying Music Technology at Staffordshire University, comprising Tom Smith (lyricist / vocalist / guitarist), Chris Urbanowicz (guitarist), Russell Leetch (bass guitarist) and Ed Lay (drummer). Their brand of sweeping indie rock is frequently compared to the sound of bands such as Interpol, Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, Franz Ferdinand, Kitchens of Distinction, The Chameleons, Big Country and U2. The band were not always known by their current name, but were known as (The) Pride, before they changed the line-up and became known as Snowfield (Ed Lay replaced Geraint Owen on drums as he began to focus on his Welsh band The Heights), they played their debut gig at the request of Fused Magazine before becoming a popular unsigned band. They remained with this name until they signed with Kitchenware Records in September 2004." |
