Call Upon The Author

Supported by All Forgotten, Cars On Fire, and The Xcerts, I already had high hopes for this gig. They were all impressive, but seemed to just get better and better as they went on. Then came the time everyone had been waiting for… Wow.
From the moment Fightstar were on stage, the crowd was alive. With the brilliant set list including a variety of hits from their albums Grand Unification and Be Human, there was something for new fans as well as those who have followed them for years. Opening with War Machine and closing with a cover of Deftones’ Be Quiet and Drive, with songs such as Paint Your Target and Mercury Summer in between, every song was different, it never dragged on. Charlie, Omar, Dan and Alex were all really lively onstage throughout the entire gig, and made the crowd feel a part of it. The venue itself was fairly small, but that just made the atmosphere even better, as it was a more personal experience. This was a fantastic night out, Fightstar are really impressive performers who are obviously passionate about what they do, which is clear after seeing them play live. Since the gig I’ve been listening to their albums non-stop, I’ve become addicted to them.
