Fightstar - Floods
Album Review

Fightstar – Floods

It’s notoriously difficult for politically minded bands to be taken seriously when they’re not musical deities of the Bono, Chris Martin variety. It’s especially difficult when your lead singer is a former member of Busted.

Fighstar’s “Floods” has been heralded as their “most important song to date” (strangely no reference for this quote is provided on the press release). Simpson’s vocals are typically strong and whilst the piano is interesting the song fails to really take off and go anywhere.

Inspiration for the song came after the band watched Al Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth”. According to front man Charlie Simpson, “Like most people I was blissfully unaware of how bad things had become and I realised that we should all be facing responsibility for the way we behave.”

The song is made worse by the fact that it actually includes the title of the film in the lyrics, ‘Blind will bleed the blind when the only thing to see is their lies. Let not the sun go down on the wrath of this inconvenient truth’.

Floods is probably more one for the collection of hardcore Busted fans rather than lovers of good music or indeed the environment. Unfortunately this is Fighstar’s inconvenient truth.
