Rifles, The

Great Escape [Rock / Alternative]

RELEASE: 30.01.2009

LABEL: ADA Global

VERTRIEB: Rough Trade

The Rifles burst onto the UK music scene two years ago with the rebellious and attitude laden debut, No Love Lost, an album revealing the hopes and dreams of working-class suburban drudgery. Since then the band have toured relentlessly, playing to over 30,000 people in the UK alone and sold out Brixton Academy on the 21st November. Their fanbase continues to grow and includes names such as Paul Weller, Tim Lovejoy and Oasis. The assault continues with the release of their 2nd album 'Great Escape' on January 26th.

The Rifles, with recent radio singles 'The Great Escape' and 'Fall To Sorrow', have been catapulted up the ladder to their rightful place of music colossus. With Jan 'Stan' Kybert (Weller, Oasis, Bjork) on production duties, singer Joel Stoker, guitarist Luke Crowther, bassist Rob Pyne, and drummer Grant Marsh's spiky guitar sound has been refined to a sharp point of perfection!
