The Rifles - Local Boy

[@mullingman]

Still such a tune from the heady days of 05/06. What a couple of Summers I had with these boys soundtracking them. Go on my sons.

[@ddundee9513]

Just throwing a comment so this classic always comes back around

[@paully1969]

I am listening to this for the first time... I have paused it at exactly 27 seconds... I absolutely love this song already... Just putting that out there... x

[@Aikonator]

So eine geile Band!!! Gestern im Astraclub in Berlin das 2. Mal live gesehen und: Absolute Extraklasse!!!

[@Twonkybot]

Saw them three times live, listened hundred times to their CDs - to me it`s still a surprise why they don`t have more success !!

[@kyachdistent1301]

Same here. They sound virtually interchangeable for all that guitar-driven stuff that blew up in the noughties, though granted they sound better than the many worst examples, but it doesn't make them wow at all.

[@cameronormerod6175]

I could listen to this song over and over again.

[@MaiTunes]

Nice to see good music likes this still exists.

[@chris4802]

I live opposite that pub - in Camden. It's just reopened - sweetness.

[@paully1969]

love that line 'line them up and puts them down'... Paully x

[@OldSchool1970]

well done soccer am, i would never have heard of them ever. cheers tim lovejoy

[@reverendjim1968]

How long have I been waiting for a band like this? Damn, they're good.

[@opaline22]

Saw them open for Paul Weller at the Highline/NYC - they were great, tons of fun live. Perfect choice as an opener for Mr. Paul Weller.

[@marcsheehan3872]

seen them live a few times, awesome band. a must see live

[@MackDaveyyyy]

I agree great song XD There from Chingford, London

[@jonesyefc8]

What a song !!!!! i think ive found one of the best songs in the world :D:D

[@mutantpig08]

Love it! :D Thank you Last.FM for introducing me to this band :D!

[@Adman1878]

seen them at the bull and gate, kentish town on thur 5/7/07 and it was bouncin!!!! new stuff was top shelf!!!!

[@jkhorwell]

Saw these in Leeds last year and they were fantastic !! So under rated it's criminal ! Got tickets to see them supporting Weller in December!! They've been recording their new album at Wellers studio over the summer so hopefully they'll be showcasing some new songs at the gigs !!! These guys should be bigger than Kasabian !!!!

[@kyachdistent1301]

A load of things should be bigger than whatever Kasabian means. But most of that is from the 80s, not from the shit decade musical dead zones that followed the 80s!

[@wankers111]

awsome song from an awsome band....you can understand the lyrics...the tune...takes you back to music and bands of late 70s early 80s....mod/ska....AWSOME...and robin hood is a legend too....lol, (soccer am viewers will understand)

[@mullingman]

This track never ever ever gets old.

[@JwahAmore31]

These blokes are totally radical! Complete class, eh? Hope they keep the tunes strong and amped!

[@Danbur2006]

Off to see these next week cannot wait!

[@bawhite125]

seriously people, stop whining about artists ripping off other artists. Do you think that music is made in a vacuum? NO. everyone is influenced by their predecessors and contemporaries. Furthermore, that goes for all artists, beyond musicians...be happy for The Rifles--they took a sound and made it theirs...

[@wolves4life93]

Never heard these before and i don't know WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! They sound sooo good!

[@breethebhoy]

music's been around so long now it's near impossible not to be compared!!! the guys do their own music to a similar sound but do it well!! mon the rifles!!!

[@travelearboy]

heard them on pandora as well. they are coming to NY, Boston, and Philly. Check out their site. Sadly, no shows on the west coast.

[@ChrisQPRChapman]

met them in the pub opposite the coronet before one of their gigs, top lads.

[@TheNeogeo68]

I like the message of respect for the vets life story,we all know a local boy don't we.Buy'em a round and talk ya might learn something.

[@michaelmurphy9202]

first came across these guys on soccer am 7 years ago. incredible band seen them live 10 times since, was no surprise really tim lovejoy has such good taste in music. top guy!! love his style I wonder what Tim Lovejoy is doing right now...

[@dee194578]

There was a great ''Mod'' band from Winnipeg, Canada, in the early 80s called The Dub Rifles.

[@Force10FromMimico]

Should be the Remembrance Day theme song. Cheers from Canada always there for Britain from the get go.

[@DnBBoo]

First band i seen live. brilliant

[@LondonToddy]

Fucking brilliant, excellent live band with massive kudos for originality

[@njg4570]

Brilliant

[@nathansmusic96]

[@GrifterUno]

The Rifles are the real shit...and if a genius like Paul Weller approve of them, what right we simple mortals have of saying anything on the contrary?!. Now, shut up, spark that joint and listen to the sweet sounds of...THE RIFLES! Gracias por la musica, homies...keep on keeping on!!!

[@jimmybee18]

[@DnBBoo]

[@paulkennedy6392]

[@timebomb1981]

[@zack0urban]

34 scumy bastards .

[@11essexboi11]

GREAT SONG

[@albegar66]

La influencia de Paul Weller se deja ver y eso se agradece. sonido fresco y pura new wave. Me apunto a The Rifles- Great band

[@higgolini]

The Kinks vibes. God save the George Cross and all those who were awarded them.

[@krish1794]

Saw em Last night in Elephant and Castle... Fucking Incredible... You don't have to know the songs to enjoy them.. My tickets were only like 15 quid, they were insanely good

[@MrBowww1]

ROCKNESS !!

[@lnc0]

6 years later I only just catch on this songs about Quadrophenia WOOOOOPS

[@Newnham15]

@sharuto spot on!!

[@shaunbaird]

I agree the Ordinary boys debut album was good, went down hill fast since then! The Rifles are fookin amazing!!! WE ARE THE MODS!!!

[@ZhigaZhega]

Rifles + Twisted Whell + Paddingtons = eargasm

[@FakeFlourescentSkies]

i can see this kinda music getting to be the next huge trend

[@Brettthetyke]

Top Tune (Y)

[@BinjuiceXX]

Good song for the arsenal. I checked the 5pur2 one and it was YMCA :P

[@200twistatwista]

Good tune.

[@stupsaly]

seeing this band in november in leeds,,look for the new Leeds Acad..i will be there anyway

[@KJM1712]

Amazing how the Arsenal vid is exposing so many people to a 6 year old song, I love it (both the kit and the song)

[@Hellbat308]

cool song

[@flinchus]

fresh as fuck. reminds me of the old geezer that's always sat at the back of the pub.

[@MrKubbo]

The Rifles have an awesome sound.. and you are crazy if you dislike it.

[@lukebailey2009]

cant wait to see these at newcastle when they are supporting paul weller should be good

[@lenep9985]

Great example of a GREAT song thats much better than so much of the other stuff out there.. But doesnt make it like it should...HOW is it that im just aware of this in 2019?

[@Newnham15]

They are so under rated, it makes me feel sick...

[@GVike]

Nice interpretation of the The Jam sound... so what if they sound like Weller's band? The style is perpetuated that way. BTW, I lived in Spain and there are quite a few bands there rescuing the early-80s-mod-meets-punk sound.

[@nufc090]

where can i get their first album for a reasonable price. In the US it is like $25 on amazon, are there any online stores where i can get it for less. I checked HMV, they don't have it. I need this!

[@fucktheutubeusername]

good band

[@Stecki82]

Well, I'll see them tonight in Zurich.

[@boylelaura]

I KNOW i cannot wait. do you know that the horrors have pulled out? but dizzee rascal :O xx

[@joysdivision1993]

thats why I like this song, because it does remind me of The Cure -Just Like Heaven. Mixed with a little Wombats

[@J4MESuk]

good song
