Indie outfit The Rifles are promising to bring recently released album Love Your Neighbour’s ‘sunbeam of optimism’ to the darkest spell of the year when they stop off in Stoke this month. 

Establishing themselves as a band to keep tabs on with their first two albums, the Chingford four-piecehave been making music since the mid-noughties, taking their inspiration from numerous diverse sources, including The Clash, The Jam and 1990s Britpop.
