The Spitfires

Regan signed off with “Let’s chat and get pissed” in his scouser drawl, and it seemed a perfect way to end the Spitfires’ story thus far. We wish them all the best.

To their credit, clean, sharp drums cut through everything and provided a much needed edge to their sound, and a few upbeat and sing-along tracks allowed The Spitfires to swim back to the surface and send off the night successfully.

It’s hard not to start flipping imaginary two-finger salutes at the authorities.

Loyal fans will welcome the album for containing more of the stuff they love, but it certainly doesn’t set a groundbreaking direction for the band that will see them miles ahead of the garage punk pack.
