The Rifles working on 3rd album [UPDATE #2]

The Rifles have been hard at work writing new songs for some months now, and are planning to record their 3rd album starting in August (and at Paul Weller's studio too)! The group have been posting updates about their new songs on their twitter account, so be sure to check in to see what they're up to!
They explain it best themselves though, so read their message on the band's website: http://www.therifles.com/

[UPDATE] : A new instrumental song "Sign of Our Times" is up on The Rifles Myspace page! Have a listen and tell them how much you like it!

[UPDATE #2] : "Sign of Our Times" has been taken down, but fear not, another song, "No Sign (Home Demo)" is up on The Rifles Official site! Go and have a listen!
