Better The Devil You Know

Description

Better The Devil You Know marks the long-awaited return of British “Nu-Mod” band The Spitfires. With a new lineup and their first release on their new label, Bellevue Music, this devilishly catchy single sees the band team up with producer Simon Dine (Paul Weller, Dexys Midnight Runners, Noonday Underground) to deliver a powerful and engaging anthem. Proudly displaying musical influences that lie somewhere at the heart of the holy trinity of The Clash, The Specials, and Hard-Fi at its most rebellious peak, “Better The Devil You Know” offers a sharp reflection on the persistent troubles in the Middle East. Billy Sullivan (leader/singer/songwriter) explains, "It's about all wars, in fact; it's a pure protest song." On the B-side, exclusively available on this 7-inch, is a classy remix of “A Man Out Of Time” by Paul Weller and Maxwell Farrington's collaborator, Christophe Vaillant, also known as Le SuperHomard.
