Fightstar Releases New Single


Fightstar, a UK band fronted by ex-Busted pimp, Charlie Simpson, has released a new single, The English Way. Listen here.



I'm a big Fightstar fan, because they use their musical talents to create an extremely full sound and excellent harmonies. The English Way is no exception to their winning formula. The drumming once again very inventive and Charlie sings with passion. The choirs seem a little flimsy and not integrated well, but it's a welcomed change.

I'm not usually a fan of hard rock, but Fightstar brings forth passion, complexity and harmonies together in a new appealing way without alienating listeners. For more listening try getting the songs We Apologise for Nothing from their sophomore album One Day Son This Will All Be Yours and The Grand Unification Part 2 from their debut album Grand Unification.
