Hello,,

The Spitfires - Response. For. Jam. fans. These guys are really Jam clones - not that there's anything wrong with that. Pretty catchy tracks, sounds more like later Jam (fuller sound, keyboards, horns, an occasional acoustic guitar). Worth the time (once or twice). The track below if from an upcoming album.

My band is actually playing on the same bill as them at a festival next month so I've had a listen. They sound like Billy Bragg fronting the Jam to me. Quite derivative but decent enough.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Maj and I saw 'em a couple years ago. Great company, perfunctory concert.

I've been collecting the remastered deluxe editions of Nick Cave's discography and discovering pure dark horror once again. Love it.
I haven’t bought any of them yet even though I have seen them available at decent prices. Worth getting?
I think they're outstanding. The sound quality is great, and the documentary that comes with each is fun to watch. It's cool to see people that are really passionate about the band talking about what each album means to them.
Thank you, I’m sold!

The Godfathers.
Great band.
Saw them loads back in the day. Not seen the reformed band as yet but have their last album which is great.

Not surprisingly I like them.

The singer ranted that they wouldn't play them on the radio cos they're too real. No, that's not the reason.

I'll bet he's also warned others that his hands are registered as lethal weapons.
