A mod-inspired act from Watford, England, the Spitfires enjoyed minor success in the U.K. over a ten-year period. Their first release, "Spark to Start," appeared in 2012. Their full-length debut, Response, was eventually released in the summer of 2015 and graced the Top 70 of the U.K. album chart. The band returned in 2016 with A Thousand Times, which, in comparison to their debut, was cinematic in style and progressive in its scope, whereas 2018's Year Zero nodded to a ska influence in places while utilizing higher production values and flashier sonics. Life Worth Living, which featured the Style Council-influenced "Tear This Place Right Down!," followed in 2020, but the band split in 2022 after the release of an expansive and inventive fifth album, Play for Today.
Members of The Spitfires include, or have included, Matt Johnson.
