A suspicious lack of any mention of Charlie Simpson's other band in the press release for this one, so I guess we shouldn't mention the Busted word either. Fightstar have announced a UK tour to coincide with the release of their debut EP 'They Liked
You Better When You Were Dead', including a London date as part of Rock Sound Magazine's Xposure show. Dates as follows:
14
Jan: Warwick University

20 Jan: London Camden Underworld (supporting **Planes Mistaken
For Stars**)
28 Jan: Sheffield Corporation (supporting Yourcodenameis:Milo)
