The Editors, Jules Holland show

Just caught this band. Sounded ok but - as Scar said, "We've been here before, haven't we Simba?" That is, so Human League, Orange Juice, 80's electro pop...
Not saying it's bad, in fact I LOVE that stuff.
Just feel it's being revamped and marketed as New.

Haven't heard any of their new stuff, but their first album was a bad Joy Division/Interpol rip off.

editors live are amazing, the bonus cd with their first album is their best stuff.

they used to be ripping the good stuff from that era, now they have started ripping this mince stuff hope all the album isn't like that

yeah they caught my attention when I saw them at reading festival last year. I was quite surprised to say the least when I heard the new single and I've got tickets to see them again in a few weeks...not sure if I'm going to like it now!

so long as the play fingers in the factories its worth seeing them live- absolute stormer live track that one

They were overshadowed on Jools Holland by Gang of Four - who were old enough to be their dads!

As a mate of mine said - if you went round there house and looked at their record collection it would only consist of three records - Joy Division, Echo & the Bunnymen and Gary Numan
