Rifles- Great Escape
The Rifles burst onto the UK music scene two years ago with the rebellious and attitude laden debut, NO LOVE LOST. Since then, their punchy mod-punk influenced rock has been winning over fans across the board, and was picked up by everyone from NME to XFM, Rolling Stone and BBC Radio 1, who quickly championed their rocknroll fun to the masses. It's now round two for the Rifles and with some enormo-anthems, the Great Escape is a soaring indie mission statement, designed to catapult them up the music 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 have been guided to a place of musical maturity. Vibrant and alive, with pulsing, strong beats, thoughtful lyrics, this head-bopping pop rock needs to be turned up loud and shouted from the terraces. THE GREAT ESCAPE is the exhilarating sound of a band raising their game for a shot at the big time. It's time for them to storm the national consciousness with this potent clash between classic rock and modern day indie, and an album not to be missed.
Tracklist:
- Science In Violence
- Great Escape, The
- Fall To Sorrow
- Sometimes
- Toe Rag
- History
- Winter Calls
