Before issuing their debut, The Back Room, in August 2005, Editors were immediately compared to the dark,
brooding sounds of Interpol as well as the post-punk brashness of Echo & the Bunnymen. Singles such as
"Blood" and "Bullets" quickly put Editors in the elite crowd of those to watch that year. The band -- Tom
Smith (vocals/guitar), Chris Urbanowicz (guitar), Russell Leetch (bass), and Ed Lay (drums) -- compose a
tight rock sound that's both raw and defined, particularly on album opener "Lights." Editors are an
anxious, frantic, and passionate group, and the album is done with taste from the start. Smith is vocally
passionate without being too steely, unlike Interpol frontman Paul Banks, as he exclaims, "I've got a
million things to say," while his bandmates add to the song's rushing intensity. From there, the blistering
"Munich" and the more luxurious, danceable "Blood" are the standout moments of this 11-song set. "Munich"
is one of The Back Room's especially stylish numbers, thanks to the matching guitar work of both Smith and
Urbanowicz. The surging storm that is "Bullets" is further proof that from the first note, The Back Room
lunges at you with a dynamic that's fierce, wiry, and slightly fashionable. Alternative rock hasn't seen
anything like this since the release of Turn on the Bright Lights.
