The Rifles Are Interviewed And Perform On XFM Manchester
Walthamstow, England’s The Rifles appeared on XFM Manchester this week to promote their second album, The Great Escape. They performed an acoustic version of the album’s title track and were interviewed by XFM Manchester DJ Clint Boon. To hear the interview and the live version of “The Great Escape,” click here.
I had the very good fortune to see The Rifles open for Paul Weller twice in New York City last September. They are an excellent live band. After Weller’s second New York show, I got to chat for a bit with some of the members of The Rifles. They were pretty cool, and seemed to be a bit stunned to be playing in New York City and to be supporting Paul Weller.
The material that I’ve heard from The Great Escape is good. I’m looking forward to hearing the album in full.
