Editors
EDITORS are a studied four-piece hailing from England’s agrestic periphery. Musically, the band’s sound is clearly reminiscent of JOY DIVISION, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN and early R.E.M not least due to the dark baritone timbre of singer Tom Smith catering for a pinch of melancholy besides the energy of the songs. The songs of the band blend the futility of life with the constant possibility of relief and the hope for better days to come. Without any didactic aspiration, EDITORS create with their music and lyrics dramatic situations without resolutions, giving their listeners the chance of association with their own experiences.

Marilyn Manson
Grotesque costumes and strong make-up as it was used by the likes of KISS or ALICE COOPER belong to the trademarks of the band. MATILYN MANSON’s music is hard to pigeonhole into a specific genre. The band combines Hard Rock, Alternative Rock, Industrial Rock and Metal to a unique mixture. Front man Brian Warner uses the band’s name as his alias as well, which leads to MARILYN MANSON often being solely associated with him, while other band members remain in the background. While Warne was a constant member, the rest of the band line-up changes several times. The ban, as well as the artist’s names are made up of the name of an icon e.g. Marilyn Monroe and the name of a mass murderer or serial killer e.g. Charles Manson to symbolize the common bonds between good and evil.

Morrissey
MORRISSEY is without a doubt the greatest gentleman of British pop music and his loyal fellowship adores him for his stylish appearance but most of all for his music and especially the lyrics picking up complex, controversial, and unpopular subject matter. Within his career spanning 21 years by now the guy tenderly called ‘mozzer’ by his fans has crafted a total of 8 albums filled with socially critical statements, personal stories, and a premium sound only a British man can create.
