Charlie Simpson já foi integrante de uma boyband ( Busted ) e está com os trabalhos pausados em sua banda de post-hardcore, Fightstar . Mas é nas influências em Jackson Browne , Bon Iver e Beach Boys que o britânico lança oficialmente amanhã seu primeiro álbum solo, Young Pilgrim , disponibilizado para streaming na última sexta-feira (12). Com a mudança de ares, Simpson vêm recebendo muitos comentários positivos da crítica. A BBC Music , por exemplo, justificou o passado musical de Charlie como um alicerce [...]
Photo by just.K (Karen Ebiggs) Charlie Simpson is was eerder frontman van de alternatieve rockband Fightstar, en zat daarvoor in het bandje Busted. Charlie koos er echter voor om als singer-songwriter solo verder te gaan en daarbij -naar het lijkt - de wat meer gevoelige luisterpop/middle of the road rock op te zoeken. Zijn debuutalbum Young Pilgrim is al opgenomen en wordt 11 augustus 2011 in de winkels verwacht. De nieuwe single van Charlie, Down Down Down, is nu al weer enige tijd uit. Als extraatje deelde Charlie met ons een download van zijn [...]
charlie simpson - down down down [fans of the UK acts busted and fightstar are already more than familiar with lead singer charlie simpson. but it took a solo leap of faith for his music to make my blip and the end result is a lush track that really sets up what looks to be a promising debut solo album from the singer/songwriter. he's got a popstar face, but overlook that and listen to the strong track ahead!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

Charlie Simpson has made a name for himself as a band member, firstly of Busted (just don't mention that!) & secondly of Fightstar; now, he's going it alone. This is someone who, in the past, has made a point of the fact that he wants to be making real music, the sort he feels passionate about, putting great onus on himself to ensure that what he produces is incredibly high quality. When he joined Fightstar he alienated a lot of people with his choice to pursue a heavier sound but with his solo work he has taken a step [...]

It's always a menacing surprise when you remember how massive Charlie Simpson is. He's huge. He's like a smouldering tower of awesome. Totally sexy. Click here to see the rest of our coverage of Sonisphere Festival 2010.
...Gallows, Skunk Anansie, Fightstar, Funeral For A Friend, Madina Lake, Family Force 5 and Apocalyptica. Anyone that's read Thrash Hits for longer than five minutes will know that while Sonisphere's announcement of some of those bands will have plastered a great big smile across our faces, there's no way we can pretend that a couple of those bands [...]
For a lot of bands, having your record label implode beneath you would be considered an event somewhere between "world-shattering fuck-up" to "band-destroying disaster". Fightstar don't think like that though - when their former home, Gut Records, died in 2008, they dusted themselves off, recorded a brand new album, then got back on the road. [...]

Deftones Peak: 2000/2001 Era: White Pony What have Deftones done in the 2000s? After consolidating their position as the thinking man's alternative metal band with the chugging nu-metal of Adrenaline (1995) and the restrained, groovy vitriol of Around The Fur (1997) on Madonna's Maverick label, they released their third album, White Pony in 2000. Chino Moreno was also working on Team Sleep at that time, lending to a [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. We love a good Live Lounge session on Radio 1. Jordin Sparks popped by to sing her latest single 'SOS (Let The Music Play)' and covered Katy Perry's hit ' Hot 'N Cold '. Don't you think she sounds almost identical to Katy? Anyway, while you're at it, make sure to check out Fightstar 's cover of Jordin's 'Battlefield', it all sounds so grungy.
In all fairness, after the fourth Jagerbomb, most people like to drink it straight from the tap. The problem that most people have, however, is that their taps usually have water coming out of them. This is something that is good for rinsing the taste of Red Bull out of your mouth. Bleh. Just look how much fun they're having! That cheeky scamp, Omar is about to send a purple gush down Dan's gullet while Al naps and... and... Charlie's just standing there posing! Bloody hell, stick a camera in front of some folk. [...]
It's the last day of August – time to look back at the songs that defined Summer '09. Admittedly, the "song of the summer" thing always seems to become clearer in retrospect, but in terms of sheer ubiquity it's hard to beat the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow." In fact, the only group that can really challenge them is…the Black Eyes Peas, for the grammatical nightmare "I Gotta Feeling." Guys, "gotta" is short for "got to," not "got a." Regardless, here are the contenders. My song of the summer is number two. [...]
Could Jordin Sparks' power pop ballad "Battlefield" have the potential of becoming the next "Umbrella", spawning countless "ironic" cover versions all across the Inter-Webs over the next year? We're not entirely sure, but we could dig that reality if the rest end up as nicely as this subdued take from London indie alt-rockers Fightstar . Their version isn't completely perfect (that "you better go and get your armor" line really demands some sort of dramatic spike), yet overall, hearing the song's lyrical relationship drama dipped in Fightstar's moody, rainy day reading makes for [...]
