The Rascals

Rascalize The Rascals RSD 2026 Red Vinyl edition

The Rascals are a British indie rock trio formed in 2006 by Miles Kane (guitar and vocals), Joe Edwards (bass) and Greg Mighall (drums), hailing from The Wirral on Merseyside. Before becoming The Rascals, all three members spent their formative years playing together in The Little Flames, gaining valuable experience touring with prominent contemporaries such as The Coral, The Zutons and, most significantly, Arctic Monkeys. It was while supporting Arctic Monkeys—drawing inspiration from their fiercely independent, DIY ethos and refusal to compromise—that the trio decided to trust their instincts and strike out on their own.

Widely regarded as one of the strongest indie debuts of 2008, Rascalize cemented The Rascals’ place in the UK indie landscape. Now, with its first-ever vinyl release for Record Store Day 2026, the album offers both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to rediscover a bold, energetic record that captures a distinctive moment in British indie rock history.
