Editors: 'We are not calculated'

Editors have said that they do not like being described as a businesslike band.

The group denied suggestions that their image or sound is primarily fabricated to gain commercial success.

Singer Tom Smith told BBC Newsbeat: "You can't take it seriously.

"We don't like to be described as businesslike, it's like of course you don't, you just do what comes natural. It makes us sound really calculated and the only thing that is calculated is them."

Bassist Russell Leetch added: "It makes us sound like we've got a strategy or recipe of what we're supposed to do and we just don't know - there's always going to be some backbite for success."

Regarding their supposedly rushed 2007 album An End Has A Start, Leetch admitted: "You don't want to be forgotten about. You try and work to the best of your ability and quickly."
