Cover Charge #9 - Editors to The Cure

Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop round, Ouroboros-style, back to where I started.

Last time: REM to Editors

Editors are a perfect band for covering The Cure, I think. They manage to put enough of their Own Stamp on Lullaby while maintaining, perhaps even adding to, the tension and disquiet that runs through the original. The spiderman is always hungry, indeed...

Here's the original, from Sir Robert of Cure-shire - surely a national treasure by now - and his merry band.

Next time: Crawley's finest cover a contemporary act ... but they've been around forever, so that could be anyone, right?

The Cover Charge "chain" to date.
