They thought it was all over but The Spitfires roared through their first run of comeback tour dates over the last two months and now the reconstructed, nu-mod four-piece rolls again, announcing a new album and October UK Tour. It’s not a party without loud music and the band have now released their new single, Where Did We Go Wrong? to celebrate the news that the band’s sixth album, MKII, is to be released via Bellevue Music Recordings on the 3rd October. On their new single The Spitfires go back to face the full stop of a faded romance with reflective and relatable lyricism combined with a supercharged classic guitar pop sensibility. 

“It sounds refreshed and confident, ballsy but doesn’t mind showing a softer side and being reflective too. For me it’s not a continuation of The Spitfires back catalogue, it’s very much the start of a new chapter. I’m incredibly proud, after all these years, to be talking about a new body of work which excites me and inspires me more than ever. This particular song tells a story of commitment issues. Those times when we feel forced into letting loved ones go, or surrender them without fight, and relationships break down. ‘Where Did We Go Wrong?’ is a song that sums up getting out of the way instead of addressing the fact of getting scared, whether that’s being hurt ourselves or hurting the other person.” (frontman Billy Sullivan)

Wasting no time, straight off the back of their most recent dates The Spitfires have announced their next run of UK Tour dates with tickets available from Friday 6th June at 10am. MKII will be available on CD, digital and limited edition 12” vinyl formats, with the latter in three different colour variants with the first 200 of each colour fully signed by the band. It arrives having been recorded at studios in Leeds, Manchester and Chelmsford after Billy Sullivan gathered a new band of brothers to take the band’s good name into a new era. With more new music set to be revealed and heighten anticipation further before the summer.
