They don't come from Manchester - nuff said.

They are ours.. (only one is a born and bred Brummie mind)

isn't one of them from swindon?

blimey!

that new single is going for a pretty penny on ebay already

Why is this thread still active?

Off the top of me head, reasons to like Editors:

1. They have a couple of half-decent pop tunes (in a sub-JD, really-want-to-be-U2 kind of way).
2. Liam really likes them, so it's a good way to take the piss.

Reasons to dislike Editors:

1. That singer.
2. Edith Bowman.
3. They want to be U2. And not in a good way.
4. Their songs all sound the same. And not in a good way.
5. Those fucking awful, sub-adolescent lyrics.
6. They were hyped as the new Joy Division, which ALWAYS means you're going to be shit.
7. The fact that they appear to be seen as a cut above their contemporaries tells you how godawful a lot of the current crop of 'credible' bands are.
8. That fucking singer.

Give me a few hours, I'll think of more.

9. They're just Coldplay with a bit more faux-angst.

Doesn't the bassist look like the rugby playing older brother of one of the other band members? I see they always push him to the back of the promo photos too. Lumbering buffoon!
