Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it.

Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Not even heard these people, but maybe worth a watch (if yer up).

Birmingham based four piece Editors borrow from the tradition of Joy Division, Echo and The Bunnymen and even U2 to create their own wall of moody sound. They will be performing Bullets and Munich from their critically well received debut album, The Back Room.

They've been registering on my radar for a while now. I like them. Probably still searching for their own identity/sound but it will come. 8)

"all music technology students at Britain's Stafford University who relocated to Birmingham after graduation"

does not really fill me with much hope, can only see what develops...

Oh come on Zuma! Everyone who forms a band at Uni believes in "the integrity of their music" and sees it as "serious art".

Until they tour, get a few drugs inside them, get inside a couple of groupies and then they tend to relax. Allegedly. :lol:

Editors, The Back Room is the only decent album release thus far in 2005, IMO

Not being cynical Johnny, just waiting to see what I think, and I appreciate what you say...I guess just hoping it is not Joy Div by numbers.

Would really love to be impressed!

Anyway, only started this because mr Scotty was a feartie for some reason :lol:

It will be music by numbers I'm sure. Similar to my beloved Bloc Party when they started. See BP now, who have loosened up after being feted and exposed to the 'rock world' and they're so much more relaxed *cough*, confident live and are gonna be more creative in the studio. 8)

To me, maybe a bit music by numbers, but I do understand your TV live debut will make you want to concentrate on whacking out the song perfectly as opposed to performing. We'll see. One for the future methinks. 8)

Hmm, that is god-awful timing. Apart from the fact it's my birthday on the 31st and that gig would be a great way to celebrate. We're having a shutdown at work that weekend and time off is BANNED. Hmmm

I like them. I don't think they're copying Joy Division or Interpol. If anything alot of the guitars on that album sound very early U2 (not that I'm much of a fan of U2).
