EDITSELECT and other Multi-Key Computer Commands

     It’s certainly no secret that Alt-J selected its name based on the “coolness factor” that a triangle (the math symbol for “delta”) is formed when the Alt and J keys are simultaneously depressed on a Mac keyboard. But Alt-J doesn’t hold a monopoly on selecting a band name on the basis of computer commands.

     Truth is, we are only assuming that EDITSELECT is a name based on useful commands for a computer program. If the assumption is flawed, let us know.  EDITSELECT is an Indie band from South East London. The members are Matthew Stolworthy, Helena Long, Charlie Creese and Sam Ayling. Our song of preference is “Lungs,” because we enjoy the guitar/percussion interaction at the start and the band vocals later in the song. But “Our Love is Tropical” is certainly worthwhile.

     Select All Delete Save As is undeniably a name that is based on computer commands, but not ones that are simultaneously executed. The band started as the British duo of Anthony Walker and Terry Emm, but the female voice in “Modern Life Is War” belongs to Rachael McVay.
