DESCRIPTION:
Alternative/ Indie Rock - An End Has A Start: The second album from Editors which hit No 1 on release in 2007, selling nearly 60,000 copies in the process. Includes the Top 10 single Smokers Outside
The Hospital Doors plus the singles The Racing Rats, Bones, Push Your Head Towards The Air and the album’s title track. The album was produced by Garret 'Jacknife' Lee, who helped the band capture their huge live sound in the studio. The title track, An End Has a Start is an instant classic, similar to the highlights of the first album, Munich or Blood, its melody and rhythm just takes everything by storm. The Racing Rats is a rattling, full-tilt delight, the Bunnymen-esque Escape the Nest sounds choppy and propulsive, and the spare piano chords and skittering drums of When Anger Shows make it the alt-rock cousin of Baby D's Let Me Be Your Fantasy. People were afraid that Editors would sell out with their second album and that the more expensive production and longer recording time would spoil the spirit of dark and gloomy heores of the dark underground, but on the contrary. the album is a continuation of the first album. They have kept their style and perfected it even more.

Last FM Information on Editors
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Editors is a British indie rock/post-punk revival band from Birmingham, England, formed by Tom Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Russell Leetch (bass) Ed Lay (drums) and Chris Urbanowicz (guitar) who met while studying at Staffordshire University, in Stafford, England, United Kingdom during 2002. After Chris' departure in 2012 , Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams joined the band for their live gigs and participated in the recording of the fourth album.
The band were originally known as (The) Pride, before they changed their line-up and became known as Snowfield, becoming a popular unsigned band. They remained with this name until they signed with Kitchenware Records in September 2004. The band's debut single Bullets was released as a limited edition of 500 on Kitchenware Records on January 24, 2005; it quickly gained support from radio stations such as Xfm and BBC 6 Music - where it was the single of the week.
Their debut album, The Back Room, was released on 25 July 2005, to critical acclaim. The band toured out most of 2005, including two jaunts with We Are Scientists. However, after a pivotal support slot on Franz Ferdinand's Arena tour at the end of 2005, it was the re-release of single Munich in January 2006 that propelled them into the top 10 of the UK single's chart. The following May, Editors played three sell-out shows at London's Brixton Academy, and countless gigs worldwide. The album has now sold over 500,000 units.
In June 2007 Editors released a second album, An End has a Start which included the single Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors. This first track was released on June 18th 2007 in the UK, and June 26th in the US, however it was leaked onto the Internet earlier. The album's title track, An End Has A Start was released on September 3rd, The Racing Rats on November 26th, 2007. Following a landmark appearence on The Other Stage at the Glastonbury festival, the album entered at number 1 in the UK album chart.
'In this Light And On This Evening', the third studio album, was released on October 12th 2009. With the heavy synthesizer sound and industrial ring, the album differed immensely from the earlier work of the band. Tom explained this change as a way for the band to try something completely different. Papillon, the first single, was followed by You Don't Know Love. The third single was Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool. The album was inspired by the city of London, both lyrically as musically and debuted at number 1 in the UK album charts.
On April 16th 2012, during the recording of their fourth studio album with producer Flood, Editors announced that Chris Urbanowicz (guitar) was leaving the band basing the decision entirely upon the band's future musical direction.
‘The Weight Of Your Love’, their fourth studio LP, was released on July 2013. It was preceded by the single 'A ton of love, released in May. This is also the first album to feature new band members Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams. It was recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville with producer Jacquire King and mixed by Craig Silvey.
