Editors

are a Birmingham rock group formed in 2002 and have already sold over two million records worldwide. With a Mercury Prize nomination in 2005 and their second album topping the UK charts, Tom Smith, Chris Urbanowicz, Russell Leetch and Ed Lay could soon be Britain’s coolest band. Their brand of dark indie rock is habitually compared to the sound of bands such as Echo & The Bunnymen, Interpol, U2 and of course Joy Division.

Which song do you listen to when...

Play it loud and the bass will really piss them off.

My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday

The epic country feel suits this down to the ground.

Doves - Pounding

It’s always the music in the background of the round up of the goals on «Match of the day».

I’d let the lady decide.

It’s a nice chirpy song before breakfast.
