- 08 Nov 07
- Fightstar will be releasing “Deathcar”, the second single to be taken from their new album “One Day Son This Will All Be Yours” on December 3rd 2007. This audio format features a CD on one side and a vinyl on the other, building a bridge between both analog and digital audio on a single format. Fightstar will take the honour of releasing the first record on the VinylDisc format in the UK. The limited edition single will include the title track, plus 3 extra exclusive tracks. “99” was recorded at the band’s recent sold-out show at London’s Koko, and two other tracks “Nerv/Seele” and “Shinji lkari” are new tracks recorded specifically for this release. Only 4,000 copies will be manufactured and all those copies will be signed by the band. Another track, “Deathcar – Live at Koko” will be available as a download exclusively for iTunes. “Deathcar” – is a song inspired by a harrowing news item on Chinese human meat wagons. “Deathcars are Chinese vans - if they need an organ donor for someone, then they execute death-row prisoners in the vans and bring the organs to accident victims,” explains singer Charlie Simpson. “I heard about them on the news at the same time as I heard that my ex-girlfriend was going out with someone new. I’ve sort of merged him and the deathcar together. I’m driving and he’s in the back…” The band have just completed their second sold out tour of the UK, and are about to announce another tour for early in 2008.
