Fightstar | Sharp Tongue

[@CerealPandaa]

Omar's drums are always sick as fuck

[@jorgegg7823]

Charlie Simpson is probably my favourite singer/composer ever. From a catchy pseudo-pop punk boyband, to great solo acoustic-pop stuff and then heavy metal/core/whatever filled with friggin' beautiful melodies and dark passages full of angst and rage

[@jorgegg7823]

+Jorge Garcia Gomez and I love the synths. Reminds me a lot of Gunship!

[@venger7357]

+Jorge Garcia Gomez cause gunship was a project by fightstar

[@jortepap]

True. Charlie is AMAZING. Together with James Arthur my favorite singer.

[@cindyayt]

Jorge GG He's brilliant in every band or as a solo artist because he's so talented and versatile. Hate it when people say he's better in one of the bands or what not, he's awesome in everything. Love this guy so much!

[@CharlieViking95]

They never fuck up.

[@BenEd2]

As heavy as Tannhauser Gate, as melodic as Sleep Well Tonight. Fucking masterpiece.

[@joetabberer9988]

couldn't agree more!

[@ptbempire]

+Joe Tabberer I second that

[@cainywainy]

Don

[@drinkbeerz3021]

One of the reasons Fightstar stood out to me years ago. Symphonic highs and Deathcore lows. Fucking awesome!!

[@PIERRCE]

This is possibly one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's so uplifting and inspiring. Amazing lyrics!

[@jortepap]

agree

[@maleforthedragon5177]

This song has been with me as long as I can remember. A True masterpiece. Thank you, Fightstar.

[@potatopotatoeOG]

You and i both I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I'm also glad you got their message and it stuck

[@ilockhart666]

Heavy, melodic, instant...loving it.

[@JoeyKane]

That chorus is an absolute delight

[@porkwoofles3909]

Fightstar really smashed it. Only discovering them now. Very glad this all happened, a superb body of work.

[@Westy90_]

Just a shame they haven't got the success they deserve. We all need to buy (support) their next album when or if they release it

[@rashidjurgens9992]

They re amazing been listening for years!

[@siddharthsharma3128]

I'm a stranger to this band but this song is straight fire ... moreover the vocalist has an amazing voice

[@rocket674]

+Siddharth Sharma I envy the position you are in. Welcome to the greatness that is Fightstar.

[@HavocFactionmusic]

Haha I was just gonna say I absolutely remember that moment when I discovered fightstar and my life changed for the better. I too am envious of your position, but in a way I feel like I'm rediscovering them as well

[@brandonstenning5730]

This new song is amazing! The heaviness, the synths, it's all just amazing! This new album is going to be great

[@SimonMetin]

This album is going to be epic. Completely and utterly EPIC!

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

Fightstar knows how it's done!!!!!!

[@returntorome7930]

Fightstar giving Deftones a run for their money now, such a killer track lads 👌

[@ADHDan]

+Return to Rome I love Deftones so much, I'm split between wanting to agree with you and REALLY not wanting to agree with you!! Haha!

[@lfcizdabest]

+ADHDan Fightstar aren't even close to matching Deftones.

[@kitpalmer1583]

+lfcizdabest I'd personally take BTDB over Gore

[@lfcizdabest]

I don't think BTDB comes close to Gore. I love Fightstar but the only album that matches up to anything Deftones have ever done is Grand Unification. Deftones are streets above Fightstar as songwriters.

[@kitpalmer1583]

lfcizdabest I guess I just didn't dig the production on Gore, and it didn't feel like the band working together at their best imo

[@SarahCharles92]

It's stuff like this which makes me remember why Fightstar are easily one of my favourite bands. The shift between the heaviest riffs, the most beautiful cleans and melodic choruses is just perfect.

[@jamiemason7924]

This is the first Fightstar song I have heard and I am blown away. So beautiful and melodic. Any other fightstar songs like this one??

[@tristangorman]

basically all of them

[@Vhaldemar90]

Damocles, Tannhäuser Gate, Deathcar...

[@SamPentas]

Can anyone else hear the Deftones influence in this?? Massive Tune!! Can't wait for the album!!!

[@eyeballjellyforbreakfast]

+Sam Pentney massively. The drone style guitar. Very well composed song.

[@danutd94]

Yeah man, I hear it so much in the prechorus part when Al is singing

[@Jonthebard]

+danutd94 Tbh when all comes in Reminds me Of In Flames vocalist a little bit

[@Knightoftheorient]

They've sighted Deftones as amongst their biggest influences, there's also abit of; Muse, Silverchair, The Cure and even Radiohead influences within their sound.

[@paulaesclapez2501]

+Jon Reid me too haha, I was thinking a lot in Anders!

[@woeiseutu6304]

It’s been years since a new Fightstar album but I still have hope we wil have one in 2019! BTDB IS A MASTERPIECE

[@adamsykes5755]

Been listening to BTDB every single day since its release, never gets old. Love putting Dive on in the early morning commute in the car. Other tracks like Shinji Ikari each day when working from home too. Too good.

[@woeiseutu6304]

This song is their best song to date! Every time e hear this song i cry. Can't wait for something new from this band

[@Tombhoy]

Good luck with that. The Tory toff is busy with Busted £££££££££££££££££££££££££$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Might be few more decades before Fightstar returns me thinks.

[@woeiseutu6304]

You're crazy dude, get out of here

[@EmberedAsh]

the one band that has never dissapointed me not in the slightest I loved them since I first heard palanuik when I was 14/15 im 23 now and they still excite me with everything they put out...astonishing

[@ktmad]

Man exactly the same haha, i'm gonna see them at the Ritz come October

[@EmberedAsh]

+ktmad go for it man I never got to see them in the past so next time they in birmingham im definately gonna see them

[@lewiscarty5517]

Ash C I was 11 when I heard about them, but not listened to them until about nine years later and I was 21 when this came out, so enjoyed them as much as Busted and Simpson's solo stuff, but Fightstar are always the best, but Busted and Night Driver come in at a close second.

[@danielleskillin5984]

This is amazing a amazing song I love it so much Headphones on and drift away 🥰

[@bmusicforyou80]

some bands never loose their essence!!! way to go lads!

[@lasjames7516]

the song that began a huge journey into their music for me

[@rashidjurgens9992]

wow crazy that their later work got you to dive deeper. such a phenomenal band been into em for years!

[@garethwardle6157]

absolutely overwhelmed with how good this is, can hear abit of influence from Gunship in that last 30 seconds with the synths. blows my mind

[@RoaKo94]

God damnit fightstar, its been four years! More music please 😖 loved this album so much!

[@titanreampingsofficial5329]

Probably the greatest song Fightstar has ever written. The bridge is made for breaking stuff.

[@giovannislasagna]

I am just so mindblown with how Fightstar is creating this new album. They have always been my favorite band and continue to keep that going!! I can already tell Fightstar are going to make an epic return! Too damn stoked!! :D

[@OwenHoover]

This album already feels like an instant classic to me.

[@georgequinn721]

I'm only finding this album in 2024 and holy shit is it good! Loved their earlier stuff but this whole album is incredible.

[@jortepap]

One of the best songs ever made. This is perfection. Come back Fightstar. please.. ever.

[@ptbempire]

7 years ago and still patiently waiting for another mastercraft album

[@natskar]

Wow, what a powerful song. Damn near brought me to tears, it's as if the lyrics spoke directly to me..

[@JmuthafuckinDizzle]

They just keep you guessing. Evolving and evolving.

[@Knightoftheorient]

Totally fucking EPIC!

[@danspitalnik]

They never fail to deliver the goods.

[@cheesem8]

I had gf,but I lost her last year... I associate fightstar’s music with us. I can’t just imagine,that time goes so fast... I lost myself,I know that life doesn’t stop,but I really miss her

[@rashidjurgens9992]

be strong. fightstar keeps me strong as well.

[@jakerobins83]

Wahhhey new Fightstar song siiiiiiick boi!

[@zeenies222]

God, I love Fightstar.

[@danielleskillin5984]

Soak in the bath Listening to this Is still one of my favourite things 😍😍😍😍😍😍 singing my heart out

[@dariawinter2610]

One of my favourite songs. Ready to listen to it for hours

[@woeiseutu6304]

Man, this is the best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jimblazi]

Everything I want from fightstar. Heavy fucking riffs with wonderfully constructed melodies.

[@Funk91]

This is just euphoria! New album will be amazing, Fightstar don't write no fillers!

[@ravneet193]

this band and song should go viral!

[@weehoey]

Just from the first 30 seconds I love it!

[@dropkickproductiontx]

DAMN DUDE THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN ANIMAL

[@JoeyFTL]

Fucking amazing. Inventive, original masterpiece. Courageous and heavy hitting like the old Fightstar, but advanced, developed. And then, the synth-wave element... that really hammers it home. That just did it for me. I was lost, In love. So bold. So brave. So genuine. So honest. So beautiful. Lost for words

[@TheCompromiseChannel]

amazing bridge, perfect chorus. we cant' wait to hear the entire album

[@Lostenso]

dream come true, fightstar back with killer melodies and passages. /jizzzeeddd

[@kabilaking]

this is a band that is way under rated and dosnt get the attention it should which annoys me as they are so talented I have loved you guys for so long keep up the awesome music.

[@CasuallyDressed632]

Just fecking awesome!! roll on 16th October.

[@snelloitsme]

Can't wait for the album to come out!

[@jdl_98]

OMFG!!! You guys are amazing!

[@JakeAtFlashback]

spamming on repeat on this. very impressed.. great combination of fragility and aggresion... will stay tuned for more

[@3dflash226]

Sleep now in the dust Let me carry us over the hills Hear the night, with everyone singing Out, out loud Whatever you face I'll be here with you son Right there upon the top of your shoulder Can you sharpen your tongue, kid? I know you will find your voice in the thunder, son If you learn from the ship wrecks, in time You'll be the hand that fights Sleep well in the dust It's time to carry the empire home Please resist, the silver tongues swinging Out, out now

[@davelovesdrums]

I can't get over how much I love this song. The end is fucking incredible!

[@FurianMusic]

Yes Fightstar. So much yes.

[@EthanRoss22]

Love this.

[@laurentd6092]

this album is gonna be great. Can't wait to have it.

[@Seveneightnine21]

Can you believe that 2 members from this band, specifically Dan and Alex, also have their own synthwave band called, Gunship. They make awesome music as well.

[@matthewclewes8010]

Lyrics. Almost right I think. Sleep now in the dust Let me carry us over the hill Hear the night, with everyone singing Out, out, loud. Whatever you face I'll be here with you son, Right there upon the top of your shoulders Can you sharpen your tongue kid I know you will find your voice in the thunder, son If you learn from the ship wrecks, in time, you'll be the hand that fights Sleep well in the dust Its time to carry the ember home Please resist, the summer tongues singing out out now

[@lukehill7538]

Pretty much spot on, thanks for this Matt :)

[@xnewman96x]

+Matt Clewes Its time to carry the *empire* home

[@matthewclewes8010]

+Ben Newman that crossed my mind too but i thought embers made more sense. Either will do. Haha

[@garethlawton5278]

+Matt Clewes The second "Please resist, the summer tongues singing" sounds alot more like summer tongues swinging... definetly a Swi... noise not Sin.

[@xnewman96x]

also the chorus to me sounds like: I know you will forgive us in the finer sun rather than find your voice in the thunder son

[@Liamandaday]

Dat key change doe! On a serious note, the hiatus you boys took may be proving beneficial with this release and 'Animal'. So much progression, this next full length is shaping up to be an easy contender for Album of 2015.

[@drinkbeerz3021]

Come to the states. Specifically Fort Lauderdale/Miami

[@Timrooo]

Great song! I'm so happy they have new material!!

[@GreenDay56]

i'm really loving fightstars new stuff.

[@Rivers90]

Thumbs up if you're going to see the album launch at Troxy in london (Y)

[@jfjx_dsa]

I was there! I took my girlfriend at the time as a surprise weekend away

[@BradenWare]

Just discovered Fightstar 4 Days ago, The Album Has 52 Plays From Me , Well... 53 Now xD

[@khalid_mojali666]

Fightstar you have done an AMAZING job on this song and I can wait for the album to come out I give this is a score of 9/10 good job guys.

[@eddieortiz3219]

[@billydinho11]

Like a lot, looking forward to seeing you guys live soon

[@ThePitConcertVideos]

Awesome!! cannot wait to see you guys for the first time in London.. im going to be recording live videos and posting them on my channel :)

[@SmokeJaguar101]

Return to force. Love it. You can hear a spectrum of their changing style in this one track. Love it. Uniquely Fightstar. Eagerly awaiting news of future material!

[@MisterA2K]

Fantastici...bentornati!!!

[@thejam216]

Sounds really cool! There's a familiarity about this song and Animal that somehow capture something similar to the first 2 albums but then there's a new element as well. It's definitely Fightstar and definitely awesome! So freakin' excited for October :D

[@symanoy]

can hear the deftones influence as others mentioned, but also reminds me of early liked you better EP fightstar in moments some top notch Omar drumming in the verses too!

[@RAGEAlanBun]

This sort of shit gets me properly excited for a new album, like nothing else on earth. Charlie and crew haven't let me down yet; keep on going boys.

[@VintageRabbit]

great work, looking forward to the full release, your sound seems to have developed quite a bit. Hoping for some more heavy tracks.

[@Bhomasolini]

Awsome, even better than the old stuff!!!!! o.0

[@BenAgain7]

Damn that was nice, cannot wait to hear this live.

[@johnhowetv]

WOW

[@woeiseutu6304]

You do the DGD animations!!! S2

[@thehalefail]

Yes. All the yes. Take all my yes's.

[@davidlarry2264]

Love the song guys! Are you the same par as Grand Unification? Not really. The last two songs could feature on Alternate Endings

[@andrewatkins-m9n]

This is such an underrated album

[@steveraider7948]

Need Air Time in States people need to know about this band need more recognition.

[@abrahamrendon6787]

Seriously! not enough people here in the States know about this place!

[@amazingface2230]

I like the back up singer's voice a lot

[@florianschriebl6197]

simply perfect

[@scotthanlon4918]

Much dynamics, much djent wow

[@potatopotatoeOG]

Heard this long ago and it's stuck since. Thanks for this Edit: helped me find my voice

[@jamieglen899]

[@Stooeybear13]

So much gunship influence in this. So so good.

[@HenryRuins]

Judging by the two new songs this album is gonna be their best one yet
