Recent Press for Almost Endless

We are proud to share some great feedback we have received on the most recent reviews of our new album, Almost Endless. Stay tuned for more features and reviews of The National Rifle  and be sure to purchase a copy of Almost Endless here.

“The National Rifle’s Almost Endless is the sweet, sugary nectar to the bees of the masses; it’s high time to drink it up.” – Thrill of it All (read full review here).

“If I have to explain how I feel about Almost Endless it would be like when you make a new friend, you don’t know much about him/her but you feel comfortable around them and you are excited to get to know more in the future.” – Everything on Wax (read full review here).

“Whether it is the free-flowing electronic parts that emanate from Stancato’s keyboards on “Glass Line,” the synthpop of “Almost Endless” or the post-punk of “Young In The Future,” Almost Endless reflects The National Rifle’s multi-faceted repertoire.” – Long After Dark (read full review here).

Jump Philly Magazine!

As we continue to gear up for the release of “Almost Endless” this January, the folks of JUMP Philly Magazine met with us to get some answers on how we prepared for this album and evolved over the last 6 years as a band. You can check out our feature in the Winter Issue here or you can send a request to jumpphilly@gmail.com to request a FREE copy!

 

It doesn’t stop there! JUMP Philly Magazine is also curating this month’s “Tuesday Tune Out” series at PhilaMOCA which features a live set from TNR and the showing of a film of our choice. We took a travel back in time and picked a cult classic: The Warriors (1979). The show is ALL AGES/BYOB (with ID) and only a $5 donation! Check out the details here.

2nd Annual Halloween Extravaganza!!

It’s Halloween and we are partying in style. TNR is hosting our 2nd Annual Halloween Extravaganza at Goldilocks Gallery on Saturday, October 27th!
We got an awesome line up joining us including Blayer Pointdujour and the Rockers Galore, The New Connection, and Smiley Gets Dressed.

You know the rules: $5 with costume. $10 without costume. Who goes to a costume party without a costume? We will make it worth your while as we are providing party necessities and turning the gallery into a psychedelic, haunted house. Did you say we got an 18 foot ghost? You bet.

9pm. ALL AGES. See ya there!
