Now, I think it's about time we all moved on from calling Fightstar, 'that band with Charlie from Busted in'

After they popped into our office for a day of hard graft, and I popped into their office (which just happened to be Manchester Academy 2) for a night of hot rock, I discovered that there is far more to this band that meets the eye.

In fact, Fightstar's album, Be Human is one of the best albums I've heard all year, and they look set to have a long and illustrious career ahead of them, During a interview in 2009 he said, "Back in the day when Fightstar was created, there was a lot of curiosity and pre-conceptions. But someone who can write something off without even giving it a chance is just an ignorant little child. People like that just wash off my back like dirt, really"

Says it all doesn't it. So check 'em out!
