The Rifles "The General"

[scorpion3128]

I really need to get this album. Anyone know where I can get a physical copy in NY? Besides something like Amazon or ebay lol. It took 2 weeks for their first album to get to my house and while it was well worth the wait, It would be great to pick this up asap. ^_^

[SSJ4TOM]

This is such a fucking awesome song and video.

[ChairmanRalph]

Having lived and worked in the country, I can only say...hear hear!

[Phenoxe]

Brilliant performance again tonight at Paradiso Amsterdam, my ears are still ringing from this song :D !

[neillwright]

Brilliant song and video, i love the rifles!

[DonSmilo]

GREAT video and great song!

[TrainToSkaville91]

WE ARE THE MODS!!

[TorpTheMod]

Hope these lads can lead another revival!

[ArandomNutter]

This song is yet another great one from such an under rated band, people like this should be getting more airplay not Madonna and Britney etc.

[paddyhickey92]

i agree, i cant understand why they are not as well known as they should be :/

[neillwright]

I couldnt agree with you more, ive only just discovered the rifles and they are amazinfg beats the rubbish you get on the radio

[NickTrousers]

Another great English band! Jeeeeez, 90 percent of the music I love comes out of England or just Europe in general. It must be something in the water over there.

[TrainToSkaville91]

Are you American and actually admitting than english music is better?

[NickTrousers]

Yes, I am American. And YES, in my opinion English music is better. Cheers mate. LOL couldn't resist.

[punkrockxzz]

im american and english music is hands down better. im actually going to move to the UK within the next couple of years, just because its an all around better country.

[salvadory]

@TrainToSkaville91 most english music is better - i efin love the jam weller the damned the clash the who all the 60s english invasion stuff but black american music like curtis mayfield sly stone stevie wonder and us hiphop and r+b etc cant be touched by the uk- so its a draw in the end! I think we can all agree this a great tune!

[DeadlyWhisper]

@NickTrousers I know exactly what you mean. From Kent to The Cure and everything in the middle. Those Europeans have a way with music.

[666jamboy]

what a belter, nice one!!!

[Chr0nict0wn]

So does the dad die in the fight or something?

[AcneEgg]

Yeah I think so.

Ace song XD

[XNightcrawler05]

The Rifles make quality tunes.

I love this video, but I wish they had a bit of the band performing in it :-)

[katherinclaire]

great song

[loonatic89]

huge tune once again lads

[oufcswatton]

Seen these guys live in Oxford, they know how to get the crowd going :) they were quality

[ToriiHunterFan]

whoa whoa whoa whoa wait. wait a minute here. forgive me, kids, if i'm late to the party, but i stumbled upon this on complete accident. can someone tell me how it is i've never heard of this band??? what the fuck??? does all their other music have this kind of energy or do they do those typical "let's-rip-off-radiohead-now" songs that every other british band besides gallows has?

[alipindahouse123]

yeah it is pretty unbelievable this song did not make the charts let alone top 10.

[studio8t5]

totally awesome tune...the intensity reminds me of the Jam's 'private Hell'.

when will these fellas finally get the recognition they deserve??????

Best album i've heard for a very long time.

[stew12341]

This band supported Milburn at there last gig in 2008 they are split up now cause they didnt get the credit they deserved . The rifles are amazing i am goin to see them in oct in london . check out Milburn they got 2 albums and they are special i tell ya

[evilroman1]

theres on on in leeds aswell in oct:)

[pointknightchime]

rifles are sex. come to canada?

[majormcgee]

the vid is kinda sad but its a gr8 song

[AlbionSounds]

Just got this on 7", great song. The album is also very good, but as usual it will be overlooked. One of the top 5 albums of the year i'd say.

[turnersj08]

the rifles are so under-rated... this album is well gud

[minigungunner]

This sont has depth

[msenslen011]

excellent portrayal of the boys emotions.

this band is bound to get big real soon.

[BlankDreams]

Interesting sound!

[iesus68]

what a shame they are still not come over italy to play live gigs.

I'd love to see them live

[howarth02]

Underrated Band for a long time.

[0Method]

The Rifles are amazing and really deserve more publicity.

I saw them in the roundhouse in Camden and they were brilliant. Probably one of the best gigs I've been to :D

[skankywankers]

maybe they are the ones who don't want publicity? i dunno. its just a maybe..

[0Method]

True, true. I still think they're underated :D

[NANOCHIP1]

good song and this video is amazing i love it

[jri666]

What a tune!

[JakeTheCake93]

i cant find their 1st album anywhere...online or in the shops

[NorthLondonSpur]

1st albums been deleted or whatevery ou call it, its not being distributed anymore, so you ain't gonna find it. There are online places that will sell it, but you might have to pay alot to get it.

[slappnig]

Look at Amazon, hombre!

[SnoddyD123]

thee best band from london in the last 10 years by far! romeo and julie ! the best song on the new album, this a close second, then winter calls!

[Siriiiiiiiiii]

great song

[tomheadsevenow]

Maybe if they started writing songs with no meaning, maybe if they got rid of Joel and Grant, replacing them with a tone deaf woman and her dad, maybe if they completely sold themselves out, and replaced their brilliant unique sound with a more generic, empty composure, they would get the credit they deserve?

Thank god for us fans,though :) Rifles <3

[nilsonwheels123]

Toerag, Hometown blues, Out in the Past, Fat Cat, Narrow minded Social Club, The Great Escape, Science in Violence, For The Meantime, Local Boy, Spend A Lifetime, ROBIN HOOD!!

These are ALL very very good songs. Best bet is to buy their two albums and listen to them. You will not be dissapointed.

Better than all the other shitty indie bands out at the mo. And all that shite new rave crap.

[pokesergio]

The Riffles Rock =)

[thehorseshead]

Boss band even though they are cockney twat , ive seen them so many fucking times they'll think i'm stalking them haha.

[RawAngles]

Hi there Johnny... I edited it and thought your performance was wicked....nice one.

[tomheadsevenow]

More Quality stuff from The Rifles!

[19bilbo52]

The rat pack from Norfolk had a great day at the shoot, Johnny (bald fighter manager with scarf), David (referee), Andy (bookie) and Mark (punter with cigarette beside bookie). Awesome choreography by Mark and Terry the fighters and top notch post production make this an outstanding video. Look forward to meeting the band at the Waterfront, Norwich in March.
