This audio format features a CD on one side and a vinyl on the other, building a bridge between both analogue 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…”
