The Spitfires are pleased to share brand new track, Tear This Place Right Down!

Taken from their recently announced album Life Worth Living it follows the like-minded polemic of its predecessor (Just Won’t) Keep Me Down! that sees the band Watford-based trio seizing their moment and building on the foundations they have steadily put in place over the past few years – self-released albums, a rabid fanbase and a reputation for their incendiary live shows.

Bathed in soulful undertones Tear This Place Right Down! arrives in these unprecedented times with young songwriter and frontman Billy Sullivan excelling in an exasparated narrative that paints the frustrations, joys and tribulations that affect communities young and old across the country. Complemented with the addition of a brass section, Tear This Place Right Down! exudes the passion of their live shows and there are plenty more moments like this…

Released on 19th June 2020 through Acid Jazz Records Life Worth Living is available to pre-order here >> https://smarturl.it/LifeWorthLiving

White Tiger Lyrics
 
Freedom of Creation Ecstatic Celebration
white tigers in the sky
a bridge between yours and mine

the common place, the true divine

between these swells where two waves meet
we swim and dive and kill and die
mastery enfolds it’s prey inside

twixt pain and fear, laughter and mirth
oh I believe you, please say that forever
roll over and over, before into never

this passion so ghosted, alive in a mist
a nuclear explosion unleashed in a kiss
freedom of creation ecstatic celebration

white tigers in the sky

heed and devour the invitation
implode through the torus of no return
immersed in a white blindness
I knew what was there to know

through elastic barriers of darkness
moving inside what I am and will be

my God are you here, at my feet, on your knees
I’ll sink through the floor, 
please...please... please...
oh, and, what was your name again

Freedom of Creation Ecstatic Celebration
white tigers in the sky

Formed back in the heady days of 1987 at the start of the ‘acieed’ explosion, Acid Jazz was the first of the groundbreaking new indie labels and paved the way for the likes of Mo Wax, Wall Of Sound and Talkin' Loud…

Initially a simple bedroom operation established by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson, within three months of the first 45 release (Galliano’s Frederic Lies Still), the label had grown rapidly, acquired premises in London’s east end and laid out a unique manifesto of alternative club sounds – jazz, street-soul, funk, latin, reggae and jazz poetry all put in an early appearance. Galliano, Chris Bangs, The Night Trains, The Last Poets, A Man Called Adam and Snowboy & The Latin Section were amongst the first wave of label signings and they all appeared live at groundbreaking jazz themed nights at London clubs like the WAG in Soho and Camden’s legendary Dingwalls.





By ’89, Peterson had left the label to establish his own Talking Loud imprint and Piller soon moved the operation to Denmark Street, London’s original Tin Pan Alley, into the former EMI music office. The next wave of signings included D Influence, Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies. Chart success quickly followed as the label spread its numerous tentacles around the world. The sound of the label became the name of choice for the scene that had established in its wake and by the early ’90s, Acid Jazz was booming out of a succession of speakers from Sweden to Singapore, Hamburg to Hobart, Shibuya to Sheffield and everywhere in between. International tours followed as the label expanded through the 90′s, gradually increasing their musical influences to include daisy-age hip hop, garage psyche and trip hop.





By the mid-90′s Acid Jazz had revived the careers of legends like Terry Callier, Brian Auger and Gregory Isaacs, established three subsidiaries (Focus, All Seeing Eye and Roots to cater for progressive indie, drum and bass and roots and culture respectively) and signed yet another wave of successful independent artists which included the likes of Corduroy, Mother Earth, The Humble Souls, Goldbug and a dozen more.





In 1994, the label took the plunge and opened the first ‘non-house’ based night club in London. Based on the site of the Bass Clef, a down-at-heel and eventually semi-derelict jazz club in Hoxton – perched precariously amidst the second world war bomb sites, derelict buildings and culture-free zone, the club was credited with paving the way for the whole Hoxton/Shoreditch explosion of the late nineties. Indeed, the club was rarely less than full seven nights a week hosting events from the likes of Goldie’s Metalheads, Talvin Singh, Coldcut, Ab-ashanti, Athletico and the label’s own Magic Bus. The Blue Note closed its doors at the end of the decade and Acid Jazz went back to what they do best: releasing records.

Jumping forward to 2014 and we find the label firmly ensconced in their office at the top of Brick Lane and after celebrating their 25th Anniversary the label is as vibrant and vital as ever. The current roster includes the critically acclaimed, prog folk fusions of Matt Berry, new indie hopefuls Dexters, the soul meet the Streets stylings of New Street Adventure and ex Bluetones lead singer Mark Morriss, whilst the highly acclaimed Rare Mod series has discovered and released previously unknown works by everyone from The Riot Squad featuring David Bowie to the Small Faces Steve Marriott.

In short after over a quarter of a century Acid Jazz remains one of the UK’s most important independent labels.
