"Readyfuels" is the first single from alternative rock band Anberlin from their debut album Blueprints for the Black Market. Featuring driving, mid-tempo riffs, a strong melodic chorus, and an energetic guitar solo, the song is the opening track of the album as well as one of their better known singles. A demo of the song, originally featured as a pre-release teaser on the Tooth and Nail web site, is featured on the band's Lost Songs album; this was the original recording of the song sent to Tooth and Nail that led to their signing. The demo features a longer intro, slightly different guitar lines, alternate drum transitions, and a slightly changed vocal delivery in parts. Video The music video shows the band performing the track in front of what singer Stephen Christian calls a "90's screensaver". The background features a night sky, fireworks, as well as many other special effects. Christian has gone on to say that the video was "horrible and should never have been aired." Reception The song was used in the Nexon version of the video game, Audition. The game closed on April 14, 2009. The song was favored by a lot of players of the game but it is not used in the RedBana version of the game because Nexon couldn't pass the license rights to the song to RedBana.
