Fightstar release their new single, The English Way, on November 3.
The track will mark the band's first release on their new label, Search And Destroy, which is a joint venture between Fightstar and their management company raw Power (Funeral For A Friend, Bullet For My valentine, Gallows).
The English Way will be available on CD, 7" and as a digital bundle with the following b-sides: Colours Bleed (CD), Drown (7"), The English Way Acoustic (digital) and Hide & Seek (digital).
Love the video love the song. Bit of a strange time to release a single seeing as the albums not out til next year. Probably doing what Biffy Clyro did with Mountains

more radio friendly than most of last album. Very feederish idea though with the tour coming up but maybe it'd be better suited to christmas with those backing vocals. I like it, it'll grow on me but only 4 seconds of breakdown c'mon lads ! more please !

they always release a song earlier than the album. Paint your target and grand unification Pt 1 were out long before the GU album

oooohhh thats pretty good.
i like it when they don't do quite so heavy stuff, and you can hear charlies gorgeous singing :]
he looks pretty damn good in that video too ;]
'"The English Way" which is about our broken English society, and how to try to rebuild it. The b-side tracks feature vocalist Charlie Simpson on drum duty, as drummer Omar Abidi is currently nursing a broken hand. Amongst the b-sides is a song originally written and recorded by songstress Imogen Heap.'

Really like the song and the video looks quality. Fightstar deserve some mainstream success for so many of their songs (floods in particular), lets hope this gives them some. Top tune.

New song :)
If you don't like it, you're clearly not a Fightstar fan.
I adore them and everything they do, no matter what it is.
Love you boys!
u no u can b a fightstar fan and not like all there songs tbh im not sure about this may have 2 listen a few times buh i love the oldder stuff the heavyer stuff still there amazing live :D
I think it's great, yeah it may not be heavy metal like SOME previous work but still a great song, catchy chorus, melodic, just great. Floods wasn't metal, doesn't mean we didn't like it, it was incredible!
Fightstar have that rare talent of sounding like so many genres but pulling each one off with absolute finesse
Come on fans you know you love it, I promise it will grow on you, just wait :)

Yeah dont forget its only one damn song, and what if "You & I" was the single last time eh? i mean "99" was, and that wasnt exactly heavy, but still a good song. I like this one.

FIGHTSTAR ROCK!
This song is awesome and although it is perculiarly quite mainstream it is very catchy and well written like 99% of other fightstar songs!
As for people who think theyve gone all poppy all of a sudden, just think back 2 months ago and the last piece of new material they released! Thats right.....Where the Money Lebowski was heavy as!!!!!
There no way March 09 will bring a full album of songs like these. It will be an epic record just like the last 2.

Fightstar FTW!
I quite liked the new track.
Ok it may not have had the usual raw power of most Fightstar songs but it was still a really catchy a eerie tune, something that Fightstar do well. Can't wait for a new album (which is hopefully when the heavy returns too ;)

Yeh i agree with a lot of comments here.. this song is much more mainstream/radio friendly but i still love it, its very catchy.
Yes i'd like to hear sumthing heavier from them, but this song just proves i like anything Fightstar make!!

Fightstar are usually a really good band but I'm not a fan of this song. I think it's really different from their other stuff but maybe that's just me?

fightstars tracks are always different. They never hav just one sound to their name. and anyway that would be boring. If you looked at all of their songs you would realise how diverse they are especially on One Day Son.

i love the video, it's really quirky and those red lips singing the choir bit are awesome.
i like the song too although i do think it's a grower more than a rocking punch in the face. but i dont always want a punch in the face!

FIGHTSTAR KICK FUCKING ASS!!!
well what more is there to say other than Fightstar are amazing, along with Bullet for my Valentine & Lostprophets Britain's finest bands :]
very unique video but change is always good, if The English way is only a teaser of what more is to come I certainly can't fucking wait just like the rest of you FS fans ;D

do what you want, fightstar - it's a good song.
wrong direction maybe, does charlie miss busted? :P
like the idea, but you could do so much better - with the last album i saw you get even better, and this time round im expecting something epic. why settle with this? love ya :D x

sounds alright but the video actually reminds of busted haha

Fightstar Army!! xoxo

Fightstar in all their diversity
Like the song, nice that you've tried something a bit different, guys. I love it.
Many fans here don't like the change in direction for this song, but hey, I guess this 'change' just emphasises Fightstar's diversity and talent, really. They have their own sound in their own way without ever growing boring. It's awesome!
Keep it up guys, hope this song will do well :)

one of the best songs ve heard from them :)
its brilliant, i like all there stuff they always manage to give me chills :D
even if it is more radio friendly, it still sounds like them
and I think charlie wrote alot of one day son coming out of a bad relationship, so it was more negative (deathcar, anyone?)
this song seems way more uplifing, so it's nice to think that he's in a better place

great^^
I love the video it looks really different to the others, but it's cool
The lots of diffrent scenes are amazing, it is really interesting to watch, a very good scene is the one with the numbers falling on the table... the lips, em, the were a bit weird an I was a little bit scared as the suddenly came but, as I saw the band again, that was gone
I would watch the video many times again, but I'm in school and we learn something really boring and we have to focus on that
Love ittt..
Don't really think it's mainstream though, but I see what you're getting at.
Rock on boys.
:P

I like it
It might need to grow on me a little bit more, but I already love it a lot. As stated, it's different. But change is good. Means a band is evolving.
Weird video though. Rocky Horror reference anyone?

Not to shabby...
I have liked fightstar from the start and feel there sound varies on each album, I don't mind this song and think it will grow on me but does anyone think that the chorus melody was stolen from innerpartysystems 'don't stop'. A definate influence/steal whether intentional or not....

i live in england and it doesn't remind me of england at all! it needs to be more gloomy, cloudy and rainy! i dont think it suits fightstar to well

not sure about this at all, i love fightstar, but this seems to be more radio-friendly. it mite give them the acclaim they deserve though.
But i hope this can only be put down to natural progression of style, not just to be that bit more mainstrem...although i know fightstar would never do that

not heavy enough? you may have noticed some of their most fantastic songs were not heavy. like darkstar :)
