Description
To help the lads celebrate 10 years since the birth of the band, Cooking Vinyl Records are pleased to announce the deluxe edition of the band's debut album, No Love Lost, released 4th May. Digitally re-mastered at Abbey Road Studios, it features all the B-sides from the bands singles along with unreleased bonus material from the No Love Lost studio sessions giving fans an even deeper insight into the first few steps in The Rifles career.
The Rifles have come a long way since their first, self-financed single, Peace & Quiet, released from their own front rooms in Walthamstow, back in 2005. With consistently respectable chart entries and a huge, loyal fanbase, combined with genuine songwriting talent and unwavering creativity, The Rifles have long outlived many of their original peers.
The album announced the band on the UK music scene with great gusto. Fronted by the distinct vocals of Joel Stoker, sharp vocals, quick-witted songs, rolling guitars and a crucial hint of ska made No Love Lost the perfect London soundtrack.
With Ian Broudie on production duties, the album was initially released on a limited run and has since gone on to become something of a cult classic receiving critical and mainstream success.
