The Spitfires Announce Debut Album & Headline Tour

• 9th Jun 2015

Ahead of a performance at The Isle of Wight Festival on Saturday 13th June, Watford quartet The Spitfires have announced a string of autumn and winter UK headline tour dates in support of their debut album ‘Response’ which will be released on 21st August via Catch 22 Records.

“Our debut ‘Response’ is very much a record of its time” says front man Billy Sullivan of the forthcoming album “It’s our response to the current drought in meaningful music and lyrics, the attitude of the industry and the rose tinted nostalgia of yesterday’s heroes. I make no apologies for wearing my influences on my sleeve – however this ain’t no ‘revivalist’ nonsense. It’s the sound of four young frustrated lads in the studio with cans of Red Stripe, B&H, and lots of ideas…and Tom the producer somehow achieving the sound we wanted by listening to me talking bollocks about The Clash, Orchestras and Xylophones for 6 months over the top of it all.”
