Want to get up close and personal with the band? Well I have tried to put a little information about all of them here, please be aware I don't make it my mission to know what pants they are wearing today or what toothpaste they use (quite frankly I am not that interested!) so its just the basics here, and even then that might not be much!
 
Charlie Simpson (also known as Simo and Chaz to name a few!) and formerly from the pop band Busted (like you didn't already know that!), he split from them in January 2005 to concentrate more on Fightstar. He lives in London but is originally from Ipswich which is in Suffolk, he went to public school but left to concentrate on his music career. He loves Nirvana and The Deftones and considers Kurt Cobain his idol even signing the seat outside the place where Kurt died!

He met the other guy s through Camilla (his X-Girlfriend) when Alex's sister moved in with her as a flatmate, and Fightstar was born. He has two other brothers that are in a band, Brigade and Prego and both have supported them at gigs.
Alex Westaway is from Northampton, he has played in a few bands previous to Fightstar. After he moved back to London to concentrate on his music career he met Charlie at a party! Al has a lovely Labrador dog too! His dad is Derek Westaway, the managing director of Westaway Motors, a family business with garages in Naseby, Maidwell, Moulton Park and Spratton.
Alex also designed the artwork for the EP, and continues to dabble at Artwork to date, hopefully his latest work will be on the single A City On Fire!
Dan Haigh went to school with Alex, he is originally from Grimsby which is in North Yorkshire. He has been in a few other bands prior to Fightstar which where Blind Oppression, Infliction and 4 Day Week, after this he moved onto designing video games and is responsible for Quake 2 'Oblivion' and Quake 3 'Revolution'.
He was called upon by Alex to join Fightstar after Alex teamed up with Charlie and the rest is history! Dan also did the Video for Palahnuik's Laughter! and is heavily into skateboarding!
Omar Abidi was born and raised in London, I have read that he is half Portugese, and half Tunisian (although this isn't confirmed and until I do actually remember to ask him when I see him please do not take this as true!).
He is an old friend of Alex's and been a drummer for many years. He joined the guys after Alex called upon him and Dan after meeting Charlie. Omar continues to dazzle us with his drumming skills and his name is shouted out many times when they play live!
