The Rifles, an often sneered at name in the music industry (knobs) but over 10 years in, this much loved band continue to surprise and thrive. They’re bigger than ever and have just recorded at Abbey Road…

The Rifles have just released their ‘Unplugged Album: Recorded at Abbey Road Studios’. This gorgeous stripped down album features Joel Stoker & Luke Crowther accompanied in the studio by Deano Mumford (Suggs/Madness) on keys along with a string quartet and 30 piece fan choir adding vocals to 3 tracks on the album. Top drawer.

Renowned for their phenomenal live shows, Joel & Luke head back out on tour in May & June. Tickets can be purchased here; http://www.therifles.me.uk/ See full tour dates below…
