Rifle - United State

    


  Here's a blog update I did in 2022 for a song by a new band called Rifle who I didn't know anything about but I wrote  "I hope London punk quintet The Rifle might be another band that I'm still featuring in a few years from now. The evidence presented by their first release certainly suggests that could well be the case." 

  Happily, 4  years down the line and I am indeed still featuring them. 

  They've just released a debut, Self Titled album and it's pretty much everything you could want from a punk lp. It's fast, it's furious and it's catchy as hell. It's punk's 50th anniversary this year and this album would have been greeted as a classic if it had been released back in the late 70's. To my grizzled old ears it also stands up as a classic today. 

  You can get it on vinyl from YEAR0001 : 


  Highlights are aplenty, here's one, it's called United State...
