THE RIFLES

  • Concorde 2, Brighton

The Rifles are a British indie band who emerged in the mid-2000s, captivating fans with their blend of energetic garage rock and catchy melodies. Drawing inspiration from The Jam and echoing the playful vibes of contemporaries like The Kooks, they quickly gained attention with their 2005 hit "Local Boy." Their first two albums, No Love Lost and Great Escape, both made waves on the UK indie charts, solidifying their place in the scene.

Over the years, The Rifles have explored different musical landscapes, from the electric-driven anthems of None the Wiser to the stripped-down, acoustic recordings at Abbey Road. Their journey has seen lineup changes and evolving sounds, yet they’ve consistently delivered memorable tracks. Their most recent album, Love Your Neighbour (2024), marks a new chapter in their storied career.
