The Spitfires Biography Feb 2014

The Spitfires are a Watford based 3 piece who have been together since September 2012

featuring -

Billy Sullivan on Vocal/Guitars and is the band’s songwriter , Sam Long on Bass/Vocals and

Matt Johnson on Drums .

The Spitfires have released two critically acclaimed singles (Spark to Start and Tell Me) ,

gigged extensively including several support slots with the likes of From The Jam , Graham

Day and the Forefathers and Ruts DC.

They’ve also been part of an advertising campaign for the re-launch of the bespoke classic

Baracuta ‘ Harrington ‘ Jacket and this year for the world famous Dr. Marten’s , which tells

you their sharp style hasn’t gone unnoticed right at the very top of fashion and culture.

With songs such as Spark to Start, 2014 and Words to Say, The Spitfires document the

frustration and issues that most teenage bands tend to avoid. This in turn sees the band

starting to build a following of likeminded souls which have turned gigs into events.

The new single I’m Holdin’ On / Relapse will be released on March 3rd

Records on 7” Vinyl , CD and Download .

Press

Hotly tipped Watford three-piece The Spitfires took to the stage next (Undercover Festival)

easily showing why they are so highly regarded. They ripped through their set (looking

brilliantly sharply dressed throughout), the original punk-rock flavour and influence there

for all to see. Their lyrics potent and sound vicious, this is a classic punk rock band for the

21st Century, re-energising the original sound. Although slightly distant with the crowd, this

only added to the atmosphere in what was a brilliant set.

Dan Stoten, Punk Archive

I can’t recall an opening band at any Camber Sands Rally being so well received or

instigating such a positive reaction from the audience with raw energy supercharged

delivery and a batch of top quality material. They had the whole of the main room buzzing.

Sarge, Scootering Magazine

The Spitfires came to Manchester in December and blew everyone away with their brilliant

music and raw onstage energy, not to mention their sharp dress sense which caught the eye

of ‘Doc Martins’ whom went on to sponsor the band. These boys have the youthful energy

of an early ‘Jam’ and the tunes to more than match. They inject hunger, energy, passion

and style into their music and with a massive UK tour coming up we expect the youth of the

nation to wake up and latch on to what these boys are all about.
