Like fellow mod rockers the Cribs and the Enemy, this London quartet craft airtight tunes filled with high-speed guitar interplay, soccer-stadium choruses and prosaic stories about lager-hugging lads. On their careening second album, the Rifles prove that they're a band to watch, especially on the title track — a finely realized portrait of working-class boredom — and the frenetic "Science in Violence." It helps that they have more breadth than the average Paul Weller-loving Brit rocker: On softer cuts like "Romeo and Julie," the band makes chiming, strummy guitar pop that will earn the love of any sentimental Smiths fan.
