Rifle and The Chisel

Posted in Records on January 9, 2026

London based punk band Rifle has announced their self-titled debut album, out next week on Jan. 16 via Year0001, followed by a show at Moth Club on March 28.

The band just shared a single, "Worthless," featuring The Chisel.

Says the band:

"Worthless" is one of the first times we’d bought more of an idea to the studio rather than a fully fledged song. The track came together great but felt as though it was missing a crucial ingredient that we just couldn’t put our finger on. As the recording day reached late afternoon we decided to call upon the help of our mate Cal Graham. The Chisel are an instrumental part of our band’s career, playing our earliest shows and eventually touring with them, some of our highlights as Rifle have been shared with them. The back and forth vocals that came together in around less than hour really proved to be exactly what the track needed and has since become an absolute favourite of ours.
