Damn this is really fuckin solid. I’ve literally only heard that president song so I was kinda surprised to have people telling me the vocalist was in a good band once upon a time but I’m eating my words, I really dig this

Excited to check out the other three

One Day Son is so fucking good

Tannhauser Gate has one of the gnarliest breakdowns on the entire alt rock side of metalcore

Also @wildcard before this the front man was also in a boy band called Busted so maybe this was a 4 album fluke lmao

Hell yeah Wildcard, glad you’re enjoying the album.

‘Sharp Tongue’, ‘Behind the Devils Back’, ‘Animal’ and ‘Titan’ are all so fucking sick.

Also: 10 years since this was released wtf

Need more from these guys. I know the drummer said they intend to make more music together but Simpson had to focus a bit on Busted etc etc. Seems also like Fightstar is more like a passion project and Busted is more like a job, which makes sense because it makes him money to do things he wants to do more

I think they are pretty much done, I don't think they ever "took off" like they intended and the other members have moved on to other things while waiting for Charlie to be available. Now he's doing this President thing, I think that pretty much ends Fightstar. It's a shame as their Wembley show last year built hype and expectation they might finally come back again

Arent the guys just having regular jobs? I thought Charlie also worked a regular job most of the time. I think i remember him saying he had been writing some stuff for the next Fightstar record a few years back

"I don't think they ever "took off" like they intended and the other members have moved on to other things while waiting for Charlie to be available."

Pretty much.

Alex and Dan are busy with Gunship, and Fightstar isn't really known in the wider rock/metal scene (aside from original fans or latecomers), so it isn't really surprising that Charlie opted for a new 'anonymous cult genre' band (with very obvious marketing advantages right off the bat) over resurrecting a band that barely anyone listens to anymore.
