[2016-08-19] The Rifles "Big Life" 2CD double album (Cooking Vinyl UK)

Description
The Rifles return with their highly anticipated 5th album ''Big Life''. The new double album contains a remarkable 18 tracks that showcases a new maturity while retaining the indie rock spirit that has become synonymous with the band. Since their last album ''None The Wiser'' (which charted at #6 in the UK album mid-weeks) the band have maintained a strong plot through impressive live feats such as 4 consecutive nights at London's Electric Ballroom, a sold out show at The London Roundhouse and multiple tours across the UK and Europe. With such a strong, dedicated and engaged fanbase, we have high expectations for this new album and feel that it stands a good chance of outperforming its predecessor.

"Turtle Dove":

Enjoyed the clip immensely. I remember reading a really good interview with The Rifles when None The Wiser was released (The Big TakeOver magazine #74). I don't own any of their music, but am intrigued to find out more about them.

Linda, where would you recommend someone new start with this band? The current release, or something earlier?

All of The Rifles' albums are good, so you might as well start at the beginning with the 3CD Deluxe Edition of their debut No Love Lost:

Fairly inexpensive for three discs, and it contains all of their early recordings -- the album, the single B-sides, the demos they'd posted on MySpace before getting signed, radio performances, everything.

I have two of their albums, "Great Escape" their second album from 2009.

and "Freedom Run" from 2011. Enjoy both.

Per Linda's suggestion I am going back to their first and Amazon third parties have this at a very inexpensive cost.
