Well, both of the bands are favourites of this Next Wave section. So let's vote and give opinions of which band we like better.
In my case, I think Editors' lyrics and music are better than SWR.. deeper and more reflexive. They obviously have paid more attention to the production of their songs.
But SWR has that dancy and kinky vibe that makes their stuff so atractive. And their lyrics are pretty perverse... which is good. [:p]
Anyway...
My vote: Editors
