Biography

Fightstar's début EP, They Liked You Better When You Were Dead, was released on February 28, 2005, following a rapid promotional tour of the UK. The release was deliberately constructed to be made ineligible for the British music charts — Simpson's first attempt to clearly leave Busted and its teenage fanbase behind. The release proved popular enough to warrant a reprinting on March 23, 2005. The first track, Palahniuk's Laughter, enjoyed heavy rotation on music video channels and spent many weeks in charts based on video and radio requests. The track was originally entitled "Out Swimming in the Flood", but was renamed after the 2004 tsunami.

Initially, the band faced criticism from much of the British music press, because of Simpson's past career. Most vocal in the early days was Kerrang! magazine; however, the magazine quickly became one of the band's biggest supporters in the media, giving strongly positive reviews to early gigs and to the EP.

The band's first single, "Paint Your Target" was released on June 13, 2005 in the UK, peaking at #9 in the singles chart. Their second single, "Grand Unification Part 1" was released on October 31, 2005, and peaked at #20 in the UK singles chart.

A new version of the They Liked You Better When You Were Dead EP was released in early 2006 through Deep Elm Records in America.

In March 2006, they were listed by the US rock magazine Alternative Press as one of the 100 bands to watch for.
