SPITFIRE – Do Or Die

“Do Or Die” is as straightforward as you might expect it from SPITFIRE, but it also offers some sounds you might haven’t heard from the three-piece yet.

The past 5 years have not exactly been a walk in the park for SPITFIRE and a few lyrics reflect that. But no worries, SPITFIRE still know how to party and songs like “Like A Lady” prove that.

Following an old tradition, SPITFIRE once again included a cover version on their upcoming album: Close to the original but also with a clear SPITFIRE edge in terms of the production, “Out In The Cold” by the great Tom Petty – taken from his hit record “Into The Great White Open” (1991) – fits seamlessly into this album.

Tom Petty’s simplicity paired with casual Californian punk rock, dirty old Swedish rock sounds, huge guitars and a modern production are some characteristics of the sound SPITFIRE presents on “Do Or Die”. They sound more varied than ever but still stay true to themselves, and deliver straight-forward, handmade rock music without frills!

Most of the songs were written over the course of 6 months and replaced more than 30 songs or song ideas the band has accumulated over the past 5 years.

When the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lock-downs hit the world, it almost marked the end of the whole project, but it led to a do-or-die mindset, which ended up being the album title for obvious reasons.
