The Rifles return with their third record Freedom Run, a new studio album that bristles with a newly found energy, confidence and maturity.

Recorded at Paul Weller’s studio, Black Barn, and produced by the legendary Chris Potter (who has guided such luminaries as The Clash, The Stones and The Verve), the album has a fresh revitalized sound, loaded with inspirational tracks that range from the light and fun Phil Spector tinged pop symphonies through to the raucous soul-inflected heartfelt pop-rock that has dominated The Rifles’ back catalogue and has given them a fan-base that continues to sell-out venues wherever they play.
