About

Editors are a British indie rock band from Birmingham, formed in 2002. Their dark, atmospheric sound - rooted in post-punk and new wave - broke through internationally with debut album 'The Back Room' (2005), which earned a Mercury Prize nomination. Seven studio albums followed, two of which topped the UK charts, cementing their place as a major European live act. In 2026 they announced their eighth album 'Surface, Echo & Sound', marking a return to a more organic, band-centred sound.
