The band were originally known as (The) Pride, before they changed their line-up and became known as Snowfield, becoming a popular unsigned band. They remained with this name until they signed with Kitchenware Records in September 2004. The band's debut single Bullets was released as a limited edition of 500 on Kitchenware Records on January 24, 2005; it quickly gained support from radio stations such as Xfm and BBC 6 Music - where it was the single of the week.
Their debut album, The Back Room, was released on 25 July 2005, to critical acclaim. The band toured out most of 2005, including two jaunts with We Are Scientists. However, after a pivotal support slot on Franz Ferdinand's Arena tour at the end of 2005, it was the re-release of single Munich in January 2006 that propelled them into the top 10 of the UK single's chart. The following May, Editors played three sell-out shows at London's Brixton Academy, and countless gigs worldwide. The album has now sold over 500,000 units.
In June 2007 Editors released a second album, An End has a Start which included the single Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors. This first track was released on June 18th 2007 in the UK, and June 26th in the US, however it was leaked onto the Internet earlier. The album's title track, An End Has A Start was released on September 3rd, The Racing Rats on November 26th, 2007. Following a landmark appearence on The Other Stage at the Glastonbury festival, the album entered at number 1 in the UK album chart.
'In this Light And On This Evening', the third studio album, was released on October 12th 2009. With the heavy synthesizer sound and industrial ring, the album differed immensely from the earlier work of the band. Tom explained this change as a way for the band to try something completely different. Papillon, the first single, was followed by You Don't Know Love. The third single was Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool. The album was inspired by the city of London, both lyrically as musically and debuted at number 1 in the UK album charts.
On April 16th 2012, during the recording of their fourth studio album with producer Flood, Editors announced that Chris Urbanowicz (guitar) was leaving the band basing the decision entirely upon the band's future musical direction.
‘The Weight Of Your Love’, their fourth studio LP, was released on July 2013. It was preceded by the single 'A ton of love, released in May. This is also the first album to feature new band members Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams. It was recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville with producer Jacquire King and mixed by Craig Silvey.

The lyrics in Editors' song "Bullets" appear to reflect the idea that change is an inevitable and possibly painful part of life. The repetition of "If something has to change then it always does" and "If something has to give then it always will" emphasizes the idea that certain events are beyond our control and will happen regardless of our desires or efforts. The second half of the song focuses on the message of not letting a particular "disease" take hold and cause one to "fall down." The repeated refrain of "You don't need this disease you don't" emphasizes the importance of prevention and self-care.
The theme of the song could be interpreted in different ways, but one possible meaning is the struggle to maintain control in life amidst changing circumstances and potential risks. The idea of a disease could also represent various negative influences or habits that can take hold and cause harm if not actively resisted. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and warning to the listener.

Long time since I listened to this. I first saw them live, accidentally, supporting someone in Manchester a while before the album came out. This was always superb...

@muhgtra2sd
Editors are an amazing band classed as a special and brave band due to their vibe, so akin to Depeche Mode style and very different from the current alternative scene. I might even spot a new rock addiction concerning to the last album, something new got into their work indeed.
@curiositypiqued6573
Yep very similar both
