The Editors recently released their newest album, “An End has a Start,” and is making waves with the albums namesake first single, which has made serious waves on radios and the video on MTV. The group just released their newest video “The Racing Rats,” and will drop the single for radio play by Nov. 26. Make sure to pay attention to the Editors to see what’s up next with this highly talented band.

Meeting ironically while studying music technology at Staffordshire University, this band - which has been known as “(The) Pride” and “Snowfield” - became popular long before they were signed by Kitchenware Records in 2004 and are now playing to sold-out audiences under their new name and The Editors tickets are flying out of box offices around the world.

The Editors’ music style, a sweeping indie rock sound that has captured fans of bands such as Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol and The Chameleons, has been developing over the past three years as their professional career continues to grow and the band continues to tour and gain more and more experience.

The group’s debut single “Bullets” was released as a limited edition and quickly gained support from radio stations and made way for their debut album “The Back Room,” which climbed the charts and reached platinum status and sold more than more than 35,000 albums in 20 weeks. In the U.S., the single ?Munich? gained major airplay from indie radio stations and the group was slotted to play at the huge 2006 festivals Coachella and Lollapalooza. The Editors also appeared on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.”

With the release of its second album, “An End Has a Start,” the band is off to another successful run and recently played the Glastonbury Festival  in June and will continue to tour, selling out The Editors tickets throughout the U.S. and the U.K. In a recent interview with Something Glorious.com, The Editors’ front man Tom Smith talked about what went into making the second album and how the band works together as a whole.

“We’ve definitely moved on, it’s definitely not the same record again,” Smith said. “It’s much more ambitious. We never felt like we were going through any kind of difficult second album nonsense. We never hit any wall of ‘we don’t have enough singles’ or ‘that sounds like shit’. It was all very natural and easy-going. I’ve always been into melancholic music. It seems to be easier to write sad songs than happy, happy songs. The tone of the record is dark but there are a lot of optimistic lyrics on the album. Things are overly romantic. People who love our band see both sides of the lyrics.”
