Four years after the pandemic brought their decade long run to an end in 2021, the Watford based four-piece are back. Inspired by mod culture and pulling inspiration from electronic to jazz, 70s punk to ska and soul, the Spitfires had built a loyal fanbase before having to step back from the limelight at a farewell show in Camden’s electric ballroom just a week after the release of their fifth album. Made up of singer and guitarist Billy Sullivan, bassist Sam Long, drummer Matt Johnson, and keyboardist Chris Chanell, their MO is powerful social commentary delivered as a dynamic blend of punk, reggae, ska and soul.
