Hi, this is not the official fight site but i have made it so fellow fight fans can meet each other and basically talk about The Fight coz they are so bloody amazing :D
I am a HUGE fan myself and thats also why i am dedicating a myspace page to them.
The band are from Dudley and consist of four amazing members:
Kate Turley (Lead Vocals and Guitar)
Scott Milner (Guitar and Vocals)
Jack Turley (Drums)
Tom Calder (Bass Guitar and Vocals)
A BIT ABOUT THE FIGHT:
“We’re having as much fun as possible for as long as we can,” exclaims K8!, The Fight’s lead singer. “It totally bewilders me that some bands seem to forget that what they’re doing is supposed to be fun.”
Unapologetic, fiery and blaring from a radio near you sometime very soon, The Fight don’t pull their punches. The debut album, ‘Nothing New Since Rock ‘N’ Roll’, spews out perfectly noisy pocket-sized pop manifestos with the spunk of a thousand punk anthems and a spirited slab of youthful rebellion missing in the charts for too long. These are songs about music, songs about idiots, songs about struggling. Songs that say you don’t have to be nice and happy and smiley about everything life throws your way, and that there’s more to life than boys. “It’s a week in the life of an average, pissed off kid,” K8! Laughs. “We just say what we feel.”
Drummer Jak describes the music as being rather like a strawberry. “What you see is what you get – there’s no unpeeling, no hidden layers. With The Fight the point is that you get it immediately. Plenty of people have already liked what they’ve heard. Picking up fans with every gig they play – and they do a lot of gigging – they’ve already shared stages with Rancid, Yellowcard, Sugarcult, New Found Glory and The Starting Line.
Indeed, attitude pours from every track. Songs like ‘Stage Skool Kidz’ and ‘Karaoke Star’ provide a biting commentary on the pop scene, but these are not the scattergun bleatings of an ignorant muso mind, because K8!’s been there, done that, and sold the t-shirt. She formed her first band at the age of 11, and by the time she was 14 her band was swept away and signed to 19 Management and EMI. The band were dumbed down, teened up and bizarrely pitched as the new Slade. Cathy Dennis started writing songs for them, they were ‘big’, as they say, ‘in Japan’, and they rode around in tanks in videos, because that’s what marketing men thought teenage girls did. But the band was over by the time K8’s mates were doing their GCSEs. The lesson learned? You can’t manufacture the passion, fire and energy of real music. It’s a lesson still not acknowledged in some quarters even today, but K8! watched and learned.
Rather than licking her wounds, she threw herself back into music. The first day of the rest of her life was Janurary 1 2000. The Fight began life not so much as a New Year’s Resolution but as a hungover pact between K8!, her brother Jak and some mates. Two weeks later, they were playing their first gig at The Rock Café in Stourbridge, consisting mainly of Clash covers and songs like The Buzzcocks’ ‘What Do I Get?’. It felt right. The clock started ticking. Next to join was bassist Matt, who’d played with K8! in a happily shambolic three-piece punk covers band, followed by Scott, a guitarist from the local scene who’d been flitting in and out of The Fight’s field of vision for some time. By 2003, the band were complete. Following a chance meeting with New Found Glory, during which K8! Gave the band a demo CD, The Fight were invited to join the band when they next toured the UK, and from that point onwards sparks really began to fly. Management and record deals followed in a swift rise that might seem almost fairytale-like, but this has was no overnight success and they continue to kick the living daylights out of the gig circuit as they build their reputation and hone their already tight-as-hell live show.
Not all together keen on resting on their laurels, the band have even written half the songs for their next album. “Being out on the road and meeting new people there’s a lot more to write about,” K8! explains. “Being away from home for three or four months at a time throws everything into a new perspective.” What’ll it sound like? You’ll just have to wait and see. For the time being, it’s safe to say that the future seems exceptionally bright for this electrifying new band.
“We’ve always just wanted this band to be our life,” K8! says. “Now it looks like it’s going to be.”
