Spitfire Do Or Die (Box-Set)

The simplicity of Tom Petty - who is also honored with a cover version - mixed with the nonchalance of Californian punk rock, the snot of old Swedish pig rock records and thick guitars of a 2021 production make up both the sound of this album and the sound of SPITFIRE. "Do Or Die" is as direct and honest as you would expect from SPITFIRE, but it also contains sounds that you haven't heard from the three-piece before. The last 5 years have not been easy for the band and you can hear that in some of the lyrics - but don't worry, SPITFIRE still know how to party and songs like "Like A Lady" prove that. Following an old tradition, SPITFIRE have once again included a cover on their new album. Intentionally close to the original, but production-wise with a clear SPITFIRE edge, "Out In The Cold" from Tom Petty's album "Into The Great White Open" (1991) fits seamlessly into this album. Petty's simplicity mixed with the nonchalance of Californian punk rock, the snot of old Swedish pig rock records and thick guitars of a 2021 production make up both this album and the sound the band has now found for themselves. SPITFIRE sound more varied than ever and still stay true to their line - look forward to straightforward, no-frills and handmade rock music! Most of the songs on the album were written in a period of 6 months, displacing more than 30 songs or song ideas that the band has accumulated over the last 5 years. When the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns hit the world, it almost meant the end of this project. Instead, a "It's now or never!" attitude developed, giving this album its title for obvious reasons.
