The Editors make indie rock and will be performing in Romania's main city on August 16, in The Summer Terrace Herastrau from the Capital. Russell Leetch, the band's bass guitarist, talked to HotNews.ro about "the second biggest British band of the decade after Arctic Monkeys" tag: "We will be re-discovered by music fans in 20 years time when people listen to bands through a chip in their brain and people then will realise we were the best band of the noughties".

Despite the fact that indie rock was initiated in the 80's, Russell Leetch has an explanation for the genre's late success. "In the early 2000's a lot of bands coming out, like The Rapture, LCD Soundsytem, Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, were referencing the 80's nu wave scene and talking about bands they had discovered and taking it to a new place. A lot of bands like Echo & The Bunnymen and Talking Heads were hugely successful in their time, so I guess it was just passing the information of great bands down the timeline. Great music is never forgotten.

C.N.: "The city may have had an effect on the music we were making" - this is something you said after making your debut album. Now, on the verge of releasing your third album, do you feel something has changed? Especially that in 2005 you were very much upset "working our asses off doing two jobs at once and not sleeping much".

R.L.: We still work our asses off, but we enjoy playing our music all around the world, we have much better jobs. The new record is very much about city life, I think we've spent longer in cities than ever before and with the world growing larger and us getting older we're taking a lot more in about the world.

C.N.: You promised the new album will shock some of your fans. Why is the third record "different". Did you try to take on a new sound, being probably bored of constantly playing the same genre
