Busted return to the Nineties

2018-11-13 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 24 Comments
British pop rock group Busted have released a new track from their forthcoming 4th album Half Way There (a reference to their song "Year 3000", in which 'everybody bought [their] seventh album'). The track, "Nineties", marks a return to the pop-punk influenced sound of their first two albums, and is full of references to 90s pop culture. It also contains a rare moment of harsh vocals from Charlie Simpson, who is also the frontman of post-hardcore group Fightstar.

Watch the video below. Busted embark on a UK Arena tour in 2019, with their new album coming out 9 February 2019.

These guys are too old to be making music like this with lyrics this.

Charlie really should get back to doing Fightstar stuff. This is probably a lot more commercially viable but man, Fightstar has put out such great music that it kind of sucks seeing Charlie doing pre-teen Busted songs.

I'm still gutted about having to miss that last London Fightstar gig three years ago due to work. I was naive and assumed 'I'm sure they'll be back soon' only for Charlie to go back to Busted a few weeks later. I'd been waiting years for Fightstar to reunite so I could see them live.

As much as it sucks, I can understand why Charlie's doing Busted. Yeah, it's more commercially viable, but the man has a kid to support (possibly two? I'm not 100% on that though), and I don't think Fightstar records sell enough to provide for his family which is a shame.

Let the guy make a little money, damn. He'll find his way back to Fightstar eventually.

Busted were kind of a guilty pleasure for me as a kid. Didn't like their EDM attempt a couple of years ago though.

Wait, so is Fightstar a dead project right now or simple just on hold?

On hold, they plan on doing it as a passion project. Busted is Charlie's full time gig now, while Alex and Dan have Gunship and Omar is also here.

Nah Omar's doing... I don't know what he's doing right now but he also exists.

Think he a camera man for tv somewhere. I believe Charlie, Alex and Dan all have two kids now, hence why taking a break from touring

Hey you know what, it's not so bad if you listen to it while squinting and sitting on your balls.

I'll give this song one thing; at least it's better than that song they did for that awful live action Thunderbirds film
