Tom Smith - Live on Virgin Radio Italy with Giulia Salvi 31st October 2025 (video version)

For a while this afternoon we only had an audio version of this radio session, and now we also have video. Enjoy ;)

This is another stop on Tom's Italian promo tour, this time it's with a big fan of the band, Giulia Salvi. How big a fan? She has "Hyena" tattooed on her right ankle in honour of the band. True fact.

As with the recent Radio Freccia session, both Deep Dive and Smokers are played but without the additional harmonies and strumming from Mr Willes. There's also some insider information about the current activities of Editors, including a summer of rehearsals (but not recording), and the lack of involvement of Blanck Mass this time around. No acrimony, only scheduling conflicts. Now that the band is effectively returning to being a 5 piece, I wonder how that will shape the sounds being created. Particularly given the way EBM really appears to have been a very shared construction, not necessarily tilted in the direction of Editors' traditionally primary songwriter.

There's time stamps in the comments. Enjoy the music ;)
