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.gkbill wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 4:10pmHello,,
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.

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.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Thank you, I’m sold!Kory wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 12:58pmI 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.

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