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'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album The Jam never made!, 27 Sep 2006
By M. D. Wood - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was a big Jam follower and felt Paul Weller deviated too far when going solo. Nothing ever filled that void til now - this album is so retro without being out of date if that makes sense. Just tried to get tickets for my local venue the Vic in Derby but already sold out.
If this isnt a one-off I expect a big future from these guys.
The only music that has made me want to listen in ten years - since jj72.
Fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mod Revival, 17 Aug 2006
By Smickers "Des" (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
A stunning album with a wonderful blend of old skool mod values and mordern sounds with the heavy influence of Weller evident in both the music and lyrics.

Every track is a blinder and you will be oddly pulled to the lower key acoustic numbers by the pure lyrics.

A wonderful record.
