There’s A Fighter in Me is an alternative, indie pop band from Houston, Texas that offers an upbeat energy and original sound. With songs featuring unique percussion and a host of different instruments, this young duo has a clean, polished style that really resonates with their local fans.



Supported by a drummer and a handful of very diverse original tunes, There’s A Fighter in Me played Supernova’s Band Wars this past December to a party-hungry audience. The band’s well-groomed performance and passionate set was a huge hit, and the band easily won the Wildcard prize as voted by fans.



Since then, this young band has continued to work hard at earning new fans and developing their own indie style. We grabbed an interview with the members a little while back in the hopes of understanding just what makes these artists tick.
