Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
On their debut album No Love Lost, Walthamstow's The Rifles mark themselves out as contemporaries of The Ordinary Boys, The Libertines and Hard-Fi, laddish city slickers dashing through terse, tense urban anthems indebted to the London-accentuated songcraft of The Jam and The Specials. Frontman Joel Stoker, in particular, reminds one of a young Paul Weller, his barked vocals betraying a frayed, soulful emotion on the likes of 'Local Boy' and 'Hometown Blues'. He is something of a cad, as evinced by 'One Night Stand', a tale of a girl he values more for her availability than her intelligence: "I'm not being mean, in fact I'm really rather polite/All I'm trying to say is that you wouldn't catch her on Mastermind". 'Spend A Lifetime' is the cue to a more endearing side, a vulnerable acoustic number undercut by accordion and vocal harmonies subtly orchestrated by producer and sometime Lightning Seed Ian Broudie. No Love Lost works as an album – eleven tracks zip by with barely space to breathe – although few would deny that presently The Rifles still lack the sublime lyrical bent or intriguing self-mythology that saw The Libertines revitalise the genre. --Louis Pattison
CD Description
'No Love Lost' is the debut album from York-formed indie four-piece, The Rifles. Fusing elements of both The Jam and The Buzzcocks into their own distinctive sound, the band have crafted an album that is strong musically as it is witty lyrically. Includes the singles 'She's Got Standards', 'Peace And Quiet' and 'Local Boy'.
