The latest edition of Powerplay magazine features an interview with Charlie and Dan and has a live review of the first Leeds show at the Metropolitan University.

News about a new song from Charlie:
"Hey guys,
We just got back from a weeks holiday! Thanks to everyone who came to the shows, we had a great time.
We are just about to go back into the studio to record our next single which is a song called 'call to arms' some of you may have heard it on the tour. It is scheduled for an end of may release. Then we will be going back into the studio to record the album which should be out around october.
For now the best place to obtain information is through fightstar online, they have done a really good job on the site. There will be a re-vamped official site coming in the very near future. Hope you guys are well.
C."

I have updated the 'Suffolk Explosion' page and I've added another Kerrang article to the Articles/Interviews page.
| News
The tracklisting for 'The Suffolk Explosion' is to be:
1. Fightstar-'Crossing Out the Stars'
2. Pergo-'Parachutes and Flying Machines'
3. Brigade-'I'll Be Your Emergancy'
4. Aerogramme-'In Gratitude' (acoustic version)
5. My Rocket 88-'Time of Trouble'
6. Brunswick-'Promise'
7. Laruso-'Nothing Left'
8. The Ordinacne-'Loretta, Loretta'
9. The Ghears-'Swhich'
10. Brick-'When it Snowed'
11. Hald Cut-'Trampling'
12. Brigade-'Safe Hands'

14. Charlie Simpson-'Carry Her'
Charlie is at number two in MTV's Sexiest Males of 2005.
There is an article in today's Mirror about how the drummer from Mcfly is thinking of leaving the band, obvious Charlie comparisons immediatly followed but they then go on to pretty much blame Charlie and there's a bit of waffle about him and some vague bits about Fightstar at the end of the article, nothing particularly interesting, I might scan it or type it up.

There is a secret pucture in the Palahnuik's Laughter video: "There is also a hidden secret in the video. I put a picture, scaled down to about 1/15th of the screen size, put in black and white, distorted to mimic perspective, and reduced to about 25% opacity in a single frame of the entire video. If anyone finds it (and this is going to be really hard) I'll give you major props and Dan and I will find some kind of prize for you.
On Sky, depending maybe on the channel, the compression can be quite bad. I can see it when it flashes on for that single frame watching normally, but even when I paused it I couldn't make much detail out in the picture (which SUCKS because I'm in it).
To make life easier for you, it's in the bottom 1/2 of the frame. More clues to come if no-one finds it.
"-Alex Gingell (video co-director).
