‘Better The Devil You Know’ marks the long-awaited comeback of British band The Spitfires. Their first release with a refreshed line-up and also their debut on Bellevue Music, the track sees the band teaming up with producer Simon Dine (Paul Weller, Dexys Midnight Runners, Noonday Underground) to deliver a punchy, politically charged anthem.
On the B side, exclusive to the physical release only, is a remix of new track ‘A Man Of Time’ by french wizard and Paul Weller collaborator Le SuperHomard. Another new song to discover in its original form on the forthcoming album ” MKII “. With musical hints of The Clash, The Specials and Hard-Fi at their most outspoken, ‘Better The Devil You Know’ is a sharp reflection on the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East. Frontman and songwriter Billy Sullivan explains “It relates to all war. A true protest song” The band is set to hit the road for a UK and European tour ( see below for details ), culminating in a headline show at London’s KOKO on May 23rd.
