RIFLE TOWER WHERE FORMED IN EARLY 2007, THE BRAIN CHILD OF "TOMMY ROCKIT" WHO THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY BROUGHT BACK "REAL" ROCK N ROLL AND WITH INSPIRATIONS LIKE GUNS N ROSES, BON JOVI, AEROSMITH, THIN LIZZY AND MOTLEY CRUE AS THE FOUNDATION TO THE SOUND, ALL HE NEEDED WAS THE RIGHT MEMBERS.
WITH TOMMY ON LEAD VOCALS ALL HE NEEDED WAS THE REST OF HIS TEAM. AFTER SEVERAL BAND MEMBERS CAME AND WENT WAYNE HURRICANE WAS APPOINTED. ORIGINALLY ON BASS, BUT SOON MOVED ON TO LEAD GUITAR. A.D JETZ WAS NEXT ON BOARD TO FILL THE VOID WAYNE LEFT ON BASS. AFTER TWO YEARS THE AMAZING ROB ROULETTE (DRUMS) PARTED WAYS WITH THE BAND TO MOVE TO SPAIN AND WAS REPLACED BY FORMER RAMPARTS DRUMMER KEITH "McCOOL" BIGGINS. THE FINAL POSITION OF SECOND LEAD GUITARIST IT WAS A TOUGH DECISION FOR BOTH PARTIES BEING THAT DANIEL " VAN DAMN" KENNEDY PARTED WAYS WITH THE BAND 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO HIS RETURN. BUT COMMON SENCE PREVAILED FROM BOTH SIDES AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR ROCKSTAR WAS RELOADED AND BETTER THAN EVER!! THE BAND CONTINUES TO CORRUPT THE EVER BORING IRISH MUSIC SCENE WITH RIPROARING VOCAL, FAST AND FURIOUS GUITAR RIFFS MIND BOGGLING BASS AND FOOT TAPPING DRUM BEATS, ALL IN ALL THE ULTIMATE ROCK N ROLL EXPERIENCE. ORIGANAL SONGS INCLUDING "LAST CHANCE STATION", THE POWER BALLAD "WHERE DOVES MEET", THE DARK AND MYSTERIOUS "BEHIND THE SHADOWS", "ROCK YOUR SOXX", "LIVIN' IT UP", THE TRUE STORY OF "BLOOD N' WHISKEY" AND THE FANS FAVOUITE AND OLDEST RIFLE TOWER SONG "ROCK ALL NIGHT". RIFLE TOWER HAVE ALSO PLAYED IN "THE HAPPY VALLEY AND KNOCKANSTOCKAN FESTIVALS IN 2008 AND 2009 LOOKS TO BE AN EVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR THE BOYS FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF SOUTHSIDE DUBLIN.
