Before they descended into Dillinger Escape Plan rip offs and horrible production values, Spitfire were actually pretty decent. Easily one of the heaviest bands, if not the best on the label, they were sloppy as fuck, happily borrowing from their predecessors to create the murky sludge of the album. Horrifically underrated and ignored, largely because of the Slideshow Whiplash faux pas, Spitfire is one of the few bands to come out on Solid State that didn't receive a shitload of hype, and naturally, is one of the few that deserved it.
