NME reports that pseudo-neo-post-punk band Editors were playing a run of the mill gig in Cologne, Germany a few days ago when armed policemen entered the venue and forced them to leave the stage in the middle of their encore. Thankfully no one was killed.
According to the Editors boys, the reason given for the rock-us interruptus was that the band was being excessively loud. One has to wonder, though, if there might have been a mistranslation, and the coppers meant to say sucking excessively hard. Really makes you wonder.
Editors return with their sophomore LP An End Has a Start on June 25 in the UK and Europe, and July 17 in the States. Check out their bombastically wanky new video:
Aaron_Lariviere understands that if you are a fan of Coldplay or highly-derivative bands that ape their style theres a decent chance you liked the above video. His thoughts and prayers are with you, and he means no serious offense.
No offense taken. Not one of their best songs, but be open minded and give their first album (The Back Room) a chance. It's pretty damned good and not Coldplayish at all. And they put on a pretty tight live show as well. But whatever. To each his/her own. The article made me laugh.

glad no one was hurt in the incident.
my ears were. that song sucked.
that's the first time i heard it. being a fan, yeah, i wasn't too impressed with it myself, so i can only imagine what others will think of it.
hopefully it's a grower.

I liked their single from their first album, Munich, though I never got around to buying that album. This new song sucks! Maybe it's just the power of suggestion, but the first thing I thought was, "Coldplay" and then I clicked the stop button.
well, i'm no fan of coldplay, but i like the editors a lot.
isn't this the gig that the lovely Richardson saw? I don't remember her mentioning gun toting policemen. (or coldplay )
