London-based post-hardcore outfit Fightstar came to biography in the mid-2000s when guitarist/vocalist Charlie Simpson was actually still a penis of the U.K. pop ternion Busted. Itching to tap more fully into his rock side, a random jam at a party shortly turned into Simpson writing and playing songs on the side with guitarist Al Westaway and drummer Omar Abdid. Realizing they needed a bass player to embark the studio, a schoolmate of Westaway's, Dan Haigh, soon joined Fightstar's ranks. Rehearsing and playacting as oft as Simpson's Busted docket would set aside, things quickly got more unplayful and it became apparent that a decision regarding the band's next had to be made. Simpson finally leftfield Busted -- the group officially called it quits in early 2005 -- and he looked thirstily ahead to aliveness with Fightstar. The guys began making a discover for themselves about England, both playing the Reading and Leeds Festival and cathartic their Island debut EP, They Liked You Better When You Were Dead, in summer 2005. Signing with U.S.-based indie Deep Elm in September, the label re-released their EP stateside the following April as their full-length, Grand Unification, dropped plunk for at home. The album, produced by Colin Richardson (Funeral for a Friend, Machine Head), expanded on their prior exploit patch exploring darker themes. Fightstar supported Funeral for a Friend that fountain and early summer in Australia and the U.K. A slot at the 2006 Download Festival followed in June, as the guys raised some disceptation when their video for the exclusive "Paint Your Target" got banned in the U.K. and U.S. for portraying schoolchildren meshed in a postiche war. Regardless, Fightstar pressed on and sign to Trustkill Records in former 2007 with plans to press release Luxurious Unification in North America that fountain.
