The rifles for the meantime
Great Escape is the second studio album from The Rifles, which was released on January 26, 2009, after the initial release date of October 13 was delayed. The album delay was somewhat attributed to the length of time it took to record. The Rifles used two different producers, Dave McCracken and Stan "Jan" Kybert, as well as recording the album in three different locations.
