The Rifles chat to I Like Music
JOEL: I don't think its good to pay too much attention to anyone other than the people who are doing the music. If you start trying to write for someone else you won't end up doing what you want to do. If you write a song to appease someone else, it's not going to work.
The thing about songs is, they're personal, songs; other people will get that. I'm sure other people will have experienced that sort of thing, so they'll get it anyway.
ILM: So you've just got to be true to yourself?
JOEL: Yeah, definitely I think.
ILM: Can you describe your favourite place on earth?
JOEL: I don't know really, at home. Everyone tells you exactly what's what at home.
ILM: What music are you liking right now?
JOEL: I'm not really in to any bands at this minute, but recently over the past month, I've been listening to my mum's old Motown records, and I get them out every now and then and have a listen. I think it's because it's been nice and sunny, I've been digging the records out and listening to all that sort of stuff.
Up and coming bands, Milburn toured with us a while ago, they're a great bunch of fellas and friends of ours now. And I think they're really good. I can't wait to listen to their album. I went up to see them in the studio for a day when they were recording it, so I heard a little bit of it.
The Rifles glorious new album No Love Lost is released July 10th. New single, She's Got Standards released July 3rd.

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
