Are Cocteau Twins and Fightstar both rock bands?
Fightstar Fightstar are a British rock band from London that formed in 2003. The band is composed of lead vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Charlie Simpson, guitarist and co-vocalist Alex Westaway, bassist Dan Haigh and drummer Omar Abidi. Generally considered a post-hardcore band, Fightstar are known to incorporate metal, alternative rock and other genres into their sound. During the band's early days, they were viewed sceptically by critics because of Simpson's former pop career with Busted. Their live shows got a more positive reaction, and their 2005 debut EP, "They Liked You Better When You Were Dead", was a critical success.
Twin Wild Twin Wild is a British four-piece alternative rock band. Formed in 2012, the band is made up of the collective creative energies of Richard Hutchison (vocals, guitars), Imran Mair (drums), David Cuzner (guitars) and Edward Thomas (bass).

Their style of music has been compared to the likes of Foals, The Neighbourhood, and Bastille. The band have been hailed by Edith Bowman as "The love child of Bastille and Biffy Clyro".
