The band seemed to be in a good mood, the sound was crisp and clear, and the venue was packed. Boy, was I wrong.įrom the first second, it was simply awesome. I've seen Editors three times before and I thought I've seen it all. The previous one - in 2014 - was excellent and I honestly thought it would not be matched, especially since the new album did not sit well with me.
They truly are a pride of the Midlands, UK.Ī brilliant, brilliant concert in Zagreb. It’s no wonder that Editors keep doing what they’re doing. It really was the start of something new fore this outfit.Īfter signing to a label based in Newcastle, everything began to take shape with the band playing on the festival circuits, and then releasing their full-length debut album “The Back Room”, which became a Platinum selling album, featuring all six songs from their six-track EP, such as “Munich”, “Blood” and “Lights”. Through word of mouth, they became such a successful unsigned band, and then had the opportunity to play at the Birmingham O2 Academy, which thirty A&R reps attended. At this point in their career they were known as Pilot, which was great and, a memorable name to spread the name of the band but a Scottish band unfortunately already took it, so they changed it to The Pride and continued to build up their fan base, featuring in Fused Magazine, and releasing a six-track EP. It all began when the band crossed paths studying Music Technology at Staffordshire University, but decided very quickly after their formation that their degrees weren’t the most relevant career choices for them and continued to perform around the Midlands and the surrounding areas. Based in the very middle of England in what some would called the second city of England – Birmingham, Editors have made such a name for themselves over the course of their career, cementing their status as a successful indie rock band.
