Editors

About

Editors are a British post-punk and indie rock band from Birmingham, formed in 2002 after the founding members met at Staffordshire University. Their seven studio albums have all reached the UK top ten, including two chart-toppers - An End Has a Start (2007) and In This Light and on This Evening (2009) - and their debut The Back Room (2005) earned a Mercury Prize nomination. Over two decades the band has shifted from dark guitar-driven rock toward electronic and industrial textures, while keeping the brooding atmosphere that defines their sound.
