The Rifles chat to I Like Music
THE RIFLES
By the time their last single Repeated Offender was released, a groundswell of fans carried The Rifles to No. 1 in the indie charts. The mainstream countdown saw the single in the top twenties. Now, new single, She's Got Standards out July 3rd, heralds the band's debut album and is another example of why The Rifles have been rubbing shoulders at the top of the charts.
The latest single struts with all the melodic nouse of the Best of British guitar bands but wrapped up in the tune comes songwriter Joel Stoker's trademark, far from saccarhine, eyes-open, tart commentary.
With the debut album No Love Lost due for release on July 10th and festival appearances lined up for throughout the summer including; T In The Park, Oxegen, V Festival and Fuji Rocks - The Rifles are well worth catching. I Like Music caught up with lead singer and songwriter Joel to chat about songwriting, recording with Ian Brodie and London.
"I like music because… I don't have to do a proper job while I'm doing it."
