Release Notes:

"Right now feels like the beginning of a new era. It
feels like theres this great blank space ahead of us
that we can move into and explore. It feels like a
new start, one where we dont know whats going to
happen, where we dont know where were heading. Thats
such an exciting feeling."

So speaks Charlie Simpson, Fightstar vocalist and
guitarist. Hes talking about their bands new album
One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours, released on
September 24th 2007 through Gut / Institute records.
Frankly he may as well be speaking about his life,
his band, and how the world views them because
Fightstar have been through a lot of late.

It was over the summer of 2006 that Fightstar began
working on the songs that would shape their second
album. "We sent our ex-label the least heavy songs
we had written," says bassist Dan Haigh. "But they
said they wanted a more pop record. I think they
wanted us to be a more commercial prospect. That was
the last thing we ever wanted to do. Having fought
such a long battle to be viewed as a band in our own
right, can you imagine how it felt to be told to go
in a more pop direction? Did they really want us to
go through that war again?"

So ex-label Universals desire for Simpson to head
into territory he had left behind meant a split was
inevitable, allowing the band to sign with new label
Gut records who, "couldnt have been more
encouraging," says drummer Omar Abidi. "Suddenly we
felt wanted. Suddenly we felt like we were in it
together with the label. The pressure was off - we
could just concentrate on the music."

And its music thats been wrought from the heart, far
more so than the majestic sci-fi panorama of debut
album Grand Unification. "This record is much, much
more personal," says Simpson. "Most of the first
album was written in the third person and intended
as social commentary. This one is about what has
been going on in our lives.

"This record is really ~censored~ close to the bone.
Ive just been through a pretty horrendous break-up
after a seven year relationship. I had a lot I
needed to say about that, so the record came at a
very good time for me. It was almost therapeutic to
vent it all on the album. I much prefer it to be
personal - the record means so much more to me that
way. In fact some of the vocal tracks on the album
are actually demo takes because I sung those when my
feelings were still very raw. I wanted those
initial, blunt sentiments on there. Sometimes you do
something and you know it's as honest as you'll ever
get."It means that the album, at times, is built on
occasionally uncomfortably open wounds - of songs
that edge into deep, dark and heavy territory, both
musically and emotionally. But also, crucially to
the band, there's also music that's tender,
sensitive and melodically driven.

"It's almost split into two halves," says guitarist
and vocalist Al Westaway. "Theres a lighter happier
side and a really dark side. Some of it is the
heaviest stuff we've ever done but, elsewhere, there
are some very delicate moments." "That blend of
aggression and tenderness is the most important
thing to us," adds Simpson. "If anyone asks what
Fightstar is about, then it's that."

One of the most brutal songs on the album is
Deathcar, a song inspired by a harrowing news item
on Chinese human meat wagons - as well as the end of
Simpsons relationship. "Deathcars are these vans the
Chinese have and, if they need an organ donor for
someone, then they execute death-row prisoners in
the vans and bring the organs to accident victims,"
explains Simpson. "I heard about them on the news at
the same time as I heard that my ex-girlfriend was
going out with someone new. I've sort of merged him
and the deathcar together. Im driving and he's in
the back...."

Helping them to realise this music was producer Matt
Wallace (Faith No More). Over a six-week session in
Los Angeles Pass Studio and in Wallace's own studio
in LAs Sound City complex, the producer used his
songwriting experience to force Fightstar to sharpen
the music they brought him. "We went in only 60%
prepared," says Haigh. "There was a ~love~ of
pressure because we only had six weeks. It was do or
die. The pressure made the album sound really
visceral and real."

"And it was pressure we needed," explains Simpson.
"We thrived on it. We butted heads with Matt a few
times but, because he's primarily a songwriter, his
experience really helped us. We flew back from LA so
full of confidence and optimism because we knew were
making an album we could be deeply proud of. That's
really the only benchmark you need."

omg hy!
