Rifle announce debut self-titled album
RIFLE have announced their debut self-titled album!
Set for release on January 16th, 2026 via YEAR0001, the record marks the arrival of London’s most feral punk outfit. Alongside the announcement, the band have released the lead single No King.
Watch the official music video for No King here:
Speaking about the album, the band says, “as an album, RIFLE centres on the working-class experience. Some of the choruses and vocal hooks were inspired by the chants you’d hear on football terraces, with that natural sing-along quality. We also wanted to capture the sound and identity of being a London band, which I hope comes through on the album. A lot of the music we listened to while recording has a strong London identity. Groups like COCKNEY REJECTS and COCK SPARRER may not have a big overlap in sound, but their lyrical focus and overall ethos definitely define them as London bands. That’s something we were aiming to achieve as well.
This album was our first time recording everyone’s parts separately. We made sure we were all actively listening to what everyone else had laid down, constantly offering suggestions and keeping the encouragement flowing. And of course, recording with Jonah, who produced the album with us, meant there was no shortage of ideas and support.”
