The Rifles website

TheRifles.net has been retooled and the new format is up and running! There's a new "Gallery" section (featuring an alternate cover for "Great Escape" and "Fall to Sorrow"), a news section with a new blog post (Luke's lost another hat), and an audio player loaded to play "Great Escape".

Most of the site is under construction, so the other sections will hopefully be up soon. What do you think of the new site?

Single Release!

The AA-side single of "The General / Romeo & Julie" was released today. You can buy it on CD or 7" vinyl. Once you do, enter "The Rifles Competition!" for a chance to win two tickets for the Isle of Wight festival, which also allows you to meet the band!

Tour Blogs and Radio Interview

Tour Blogs:
The Rifles are still out and about touring but they're chronicling their daily misadventures on their MySpace blog. So if you want to hear about the non-musical side of the band, like Joel getting lost in a museum or Rob and Grant ducking out down a ladder during a gig, this is definitely for you! So far Luke, Rob, and Grant have taken turns writing the entries, which include exclusive photos of their tour.

Radio Interview:
Joel and Luke did an interview with BFBS Radio which you can see here. Part 1 includes an acoustic performance of "The Great Escape", Part 2 features "Peace & Quiet"...
