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.

    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!

    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
