The Rifles will release ‘Big Life’, their new double album, in July.

The follow-up to 2014’s ‘None The Wiser‘s announcement comes with an October/November UK tour; tickets are on sale from tomorrow (April 29th) for the shows which open in Newcastle.

“There’s an exciting, impromptu choir-like, foot stomping, hand clapping John Lennon/Plastic Ono band ‘Give Peace a Chance‘ vibe about album closer ‘Under and Over‘, with a melodic, rolling chorus that is guaranteed to have even the most reluctant of dancers writhing in the aisles,” Live4ever said of ‘None The Wiser’.

“And then it’s all over, with the crowd (for this music really does require such an audience) maybe feeling none the wiser but, in true Oliver Twist style, definitely wanting more.”

OCTOBER

Glasgow Garage (14)
London KOKO (20, 21)
Norwich Waterfront (27)
