‘We don’t go where the flash type go/ we’re taking our chances and going out alone’ simply sums up the style of The Gravity Crisis. There’s no other band out there at the moment that sound similar to this Birmingham based four-piece. ‘Spitfires’ can’t be confined to just one genre, it’s like a mixture of indie and punk all thrown into a spicy mixing pot and spat back out. Imagine a spitfire gliding through the air, destroying everything in its wake then crashing back down to earth in the space of two and a half minutes.

Verses with thrashing guitars and crashing drums are followed by heavily distorted interludes leading onto riffs faster than a roadrunner at full pelt. It’s no wonder they’ve already gained exposure through the likes of Zane Lowe and Huw Stephens. This band is a breath of fresh air from the generic indie that is currently being pumped out at the minute and I know I can’t wait for this band to hit full throttle.
