Billy Sullivan is a singer/songwriter from Watford. Previously frontman of The Spitfires, Sullivan has embarked on a solo career since the band split back in 2022 - releasing his critically acclaimed first album ‘Paper Dreams’ back in March 2023. Brand new singles ‘Winter Of Discontent’ and ‘Frozen Town’ have been released this year so far, setting the theme and lyrical direction for Sullivan’s new material.
"In our country, the rich and powerful suffer no punishment for lying to us, breaking ministerial codes, profiting from conflicts of interest, stealing from the public purse, breaking the law. While families struggle to pay the bills, children go to school hungry and the working class feel hopeless and defeated."
“I set out to capture a darker sound to match the current mood. Edgy, electronic but still uplifting". Recorded at Nave studio in Leeds with Alex Greaves (Yard Act, Bdrmm, Working Mens Club.
Originally formed in 2012, The Spitfires played their final show at a sold out Electric Ballroom in London back in February 2022, a fitting punctuation mark for the quartet who built a cult fan base on their own terms over the past decade with their five albums Response (2015), A Thousand Times (2016), Year Zero (2018), Life Worth Living (2020), and Play For Today (2022).
The band received support from BBC 6music, Radio X, CLASH, Louder Than War, Gigslutz, Classic Rock Magazine, Fred Perry Subculture and many more, with both critical acclaim and their independently-won commercial success underlining Sullivan’s own credentials as a songwriter of exceptional merit.
