The Editors formed in 2003.

A series of a well-received club dates and a single demo tape earned Editors the interest of British labels large and small, and after a bidding frenzy the group signed to a revitalized Kitchenware, the venerable British indie once home to Prefab Sprout.
Their debut single, "Bullets," was released in early January 2005 and sold out in one day!

The much-anticipated debut LP "The Back Room" followed in mid-2005. 2nd single "Munich" was released in January 2006, placing The Back Room in the Top Five on the U.K. album chart and earning the band a gold record.

Second album  "An End Has a Start" came out the following summer and included the singles "Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors", "Racing rats" and "Push Your Head Towards The Air".
