I had though that before. The Editors get very repetitive very quickly though.

Great minds you see.

I think Editors actually rip Joy Division off very well. Mind you I don't rate either of them.

I dunno. I've heard that comparison quite a bit but I'm not sure. They have the new wave drumming and of course, the singer's voice is uncanny but they lack that sort of doomy, chaotic edge that JD had.

Yes I agree there, the mood is a bit different. I had 'Unknown Pleasures' and it was a massive disappointment, para mi.

Me too a regular at Erics on the saturday Matinee shows..... .

Did you go to mug the wools for their posters and stuff or to actually see the bands?
