Flood's Single,

Out On 03/03/08

On March 3rd 2008, Fightstar will be releasing what some are calling their "most important song to date". "Floods" will be available on CD, digital and 7" vinyl with each format containing exclusive tracks recorded especially for the release.

The single is supported by a brand new video which includes stunning CGI animated footage from the $30 million feature film, "Flood", courtesy of the European producer and distributor Power, which made the movie. www.flood-london.com

The band wrote the song after seeing "Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth". Charlie Simpson said "like most people I was blissfully unaware of how bad things had become, and I realized that we should all be facing responsibility for the way we behave. It really inspired the whole record, how we treat our planet and our society now, is going to have repercussions in 50 years time"

Talking about the title track, singer Charlie Simpson said "this song is about standing up for what you believe in without compromise. Whether it be in public protest or behind closed doors the best way to achieve your goals is to stand up and relentlessly fight for them". He said, "The reason for choosing Silverchair's 'Abuse Me' is that they have been a huge influence on me from a very young age and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to pay tribute to them by covering one of my favourite songs of theirs. I think the Cure are one of the most influential bands of our time and the song I chose to cover, 'In Between Days' was one of my favourites in their endless mass of classics. It also gave me an excuse to get out my harmonica!" For more info go to the releases section.
