Hi rockers,
Firstly, I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Elena and I study in the communication faculty of Navarra. My aim with this blog is to make you all know new bands could interest you or just add iformation about their latest albums and concerts if you already know them. If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate and write to me or just add comments, you're all welcome. This is my second post(the first one was published by dani's account but it was me the one who wrote it) and I like to make a special mention to talk about the band Fightstar and their new album.
I’d like to introduce them in a brief way. They formed in 2003 when Charlie Simpson was actually still a member of the pop-rock trio Busted and after,in 2005, he broke away from this band to focus on the new and more rockier project: Fightstar. During the band's initial emergence, they were faced with much scepticism due to Simpson's former pop career. But forget about Busted because they just are in a different league, Charlie doesn't record music for kids anymore. Fightstar is a post-hardcore british band formed by 4 members(Charlie,Alex Westaway, Dan Haigh and Omar Abidi ) which has already recorded three albums and a b-sides compilation: Grand Unification, One day son this will be all yours, Be human and Alternate Endings.
BE HUMAN is the latest album the band released and "The English Way" was its first single. Recorded on 3 November 2009 it reached numer 1 in the UK rock chart and the videoclip also reached number one on the MTV2 top ten. This new album include their dark and heavy elements but they have experimented with more of a "rock opera" sound including full strings and choir. Haigh, one of the members of the group, says “Some people will listen to this album and expect things to sound the same but we decided to just create things you'd enjoy listening to.” And he's right, the disadvantage that many albums present is that most of their songs are repetitive and share the same style, but Be Human does not. Now they have released their third single of the album,called Never Change, which has received lots of positive critiques. I'm going to leave here the videoclip of The English Way so you can judge their talent.
However, I think my favourite single is Palahniuk's laughter, from the first EP called "They liked better when you were dead"
One thing that I admire about this band is that each of their songs and albums are absolutly different, they are not the typical guys whose songs are always the same, I just cannot get bored hearing their tracks once again and again. It's a pitty they are not coming to Spain this year but the fan club is making a good job so we might listen to them next year in Madrid or Barcelona. I hope you like their music, thank you for spending your time reading this.
