The Spitfires return with their much anticipated second album ‘A Thousand Times’ out August 26th on Catch 22 Records.



Following up the critically acclaimed debut ‘Response’ which saw the Watford 4 piece enter high in the UK Album Charts and reach Number 6 in both the independent and vinyl charts. A Thousand Times will be certain to cement the band’s reputation as one of the most vital bands today.



The new powerful songs mixed with social commentary has made this fiercely independent band one of the most popular and vital underground bands in the UK today.



Previously ignored by many radio stations and media outlets hasn’t deterred the Watford 4 piece though. Their work ethic and attitude has earnt them a dedicated following eager to be part of the ride and has contributed to the many sold out shows across the UK and abroad in the last 12 months.



The 11 tracks on ‘A Thousand Things’ reflect a sharper, wider vision and a more honed song craft than previously seen. The first single ‘So Long’ was a taste of things to come, reaching number one in the UK Vinyl chart. The classic pop theme is carried into the title track and the stunning ‘On My Mind’ with its anthemic chorus and soaring melodies. ‘Day to Day’ shows a natural progression in lyrical style and controlled aggression against a media hell-bent on making people turn on each other. ‘Return To Me’ with its cinematic soundscape, strings and percussion leads the way in a passionate belief of soul power, whilst the thrilling ‘I Don’t Even Know Myself’ shows influences of Dub, Reggae and Ska. All hinting at bigger things (and venues) to come.



All songs are written by Billy Sullivan and the album is produced by Tom Pullen at CDS Studios in Chelmsford.



A Thousand Times released 26th August on vinyl, limited 7” boxset, CD and digital download.
