5.0 out of 5 stars 2006's undiscovered gem, March 21, 2007

I was lucky enough to come across The Rifles and The Fratellis (amongst others) back in March of 2006 due to the wonderful last.fm and I haven't been able to stop listening since. Much to my amazement, the Fratellis went on to be chart-toppers in the UK out of nowhere and are seeing some success here in the states some months later.

Sadly, the better band of the two has still flown under the radar in their own country and in America. No Love Lost is without a doubt the best debut album of 2006 and the best overall album of 2006. Frequent comparisons are made to The Jam and The Clash and they're understandable, but not necessarily valid. If you do enjoy the music of that era though -- please give The Rifles a shot. You won't regret it.

Somehow I missed this band but then recently found them on Pandora internet radio. There's a 'Jam' influence for sure, but the band stands on its own just fine. Their albums are well-produced, which helps quite a bit. I am picky about music but I actually like all of their CD's. The worst thing I can say is that the lyrics arent always the deepest and a few of the tracks should really be B-sides. There is however some great guitar work and the singer has a great "rock band" voice that works well with the tunes. If you like Artic Monkeys you might want to give this band a listen.

I can't believe this poppy, upbeat CD doesn't have a huge amount of buzz -- it's one of my four favorites of the year. Just to give an idea: My others are the "Razorlight" CD, Gomez' "How We Operate" and the Arctic Monkeys' "Whatever People Say About Me." This one's sorta in between those, stylistically -- guitar-based pop, with great drums, and a smidge more production than the other three. The lead singer sounds a bit like Billy Bragg (though the songs do not) and the sound is a bit reminiscent of Housemartins. Anyway, try it. It's worth the price of an import.
