Editors are an English indie rock band from Birmingham, consisting of Tom Smith (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano), Chris Urbanowicz (lead guitar and synth), Russell Leetch (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Ed Lay (drums, percussion and live backing vocals). In 2006, Editors were nominated for the Mercury Prize. Their debut album The Back Room was released 25 July 2005, to critical acclaim and commercial success. After the re-issue of their single "Munich" "The Back Room" rose up the charts peaking at number 2, going platinum in the process. The Back Room was released in the United States on 21 March 2006 on FADER Label and sold 35,000 albums after 20 weeks, also breaking sales records there.
The lead single in the US, "Munich" received radio airplay from a number of American stations supporting indie music, including two major Los Angeles radio stations; KXLU 88.9 FM and KCRW 89.9 FM. As evidence of the buzz the band has created across the pond, they were slated to play influential American festivals in 2006 such as Coachella and Lollapalooza.
