Biography

London, United Kingdom (2003 – present)

Fightstar is a band, formed in 2003, from London, United Kingdom. The band consists of Charlie Simpson on vocals, guitar and keyboard, Alex Westaway on guitar and also providing vocals, bass guitarist Dan Haigh and drummer Omar Abidi. They have released three studio albums, “Grand Unification” in 2006, “One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours” in 2007 and most recently “Be Human” in April 2009. Before releasing any albums the band released “They Liked You Better When You Were Dead”, a 6 track EP. And in 2008 they released a compilation album consisting of b-sides and covers called “Alternate Endings”. They are currently on their own record label Search And Destroy in the UK and are signed with Trustkill Records in the US.

Fightstar’s debut EP, “They Liked You Better When You Were Dead”, was released on February 28, 2005, following a rapid promotional tour of the United Kingdom. Being an EP and containing in excess of 3 tracks (it in fact contained 6 tracks, one more than shown on the track listing, the 6th being a hidden track) it was ineligible for the singles chart in the UK - whether or not this was a conscious choice on the part of the band, since it effectively negated the possibility of their first release being judged by its placing in the singles chart (and so, almost inevitably, poorly by comparison with Simpson’s former band), is a matter for debate; regardless, the release proved popular enough to warrant a reprinting on March 23, 2005.

    Could really do with another album, much as I enjoy Charlie's solo work.

    So Funeral For A Friend's, Bring Me The Horizon's and Fall out Boy's albums are all coming out this year. All Fightstar need to do is have theirs ready to be released this year and I'm sorted for Album Of The Year selections.

    They're on hiatus at the moment while they all pursue other projects, it's actually not Charlie that's the main thing keeping them on a break, he wanted to make a new Fightstar record straight after his first solo record but Dan and Al are working on their own music and as a special effects company right now. They've all said they definitely plan to come back eventually though.

    Hey, can anyone tell me what's going on with this band? Are they on a hiatus (because of Simpson's side project), are they done playing together, or what?
