I’ve known the NYC2LON girls a very very long time. We’ve been going to the same shows since we were youthful whippersnappers and became friends over our shared extreme Anglophilia. Nowawadays they’ve joined the transatlantic cause in the blogosphere as well. Check out their obsession, The Rifles, a Britpop/mod-revival band from London making their US live debut at 3 NYC shows this week (Mercury Lounge 9/24-9/25, Union Hall 9/26).
Name: Sarah and Rachel, or The Sisters.
Blog: NYC2LON
NYC2LON’s favorite artist: The Rifles
Where they’re from: Chingford, London
Sounds like: Everything you want good music to sound like — rock ‘n’ roll that moves your soul, The Jam before Paul Weller went off and started making boring music…
Why we should be obsessed: Because, after 4+ years of being overly obsessed with them, they seem to finally be trying to break America! We don’t understand why they’re not the biggest band in both the UK and US, and we’re making it our personal mission to change this.
Choice tracks: Every track they’ve ever released, but if we have to be specific: “She’s Got Standards”, “Science Is Violence”, “The Great Escape.”
