Scottish post-hardcore punk and tattoo artist FRANK CARTER
and his RATTLESNAKES had their 4th longplayer Sticky out last year
(Carter also released 3 albums with his first band Gallows and 1 under
the moniker of Pure Love)

They’re back now together with Carter‘s friend Jamie T
with an anti-drugs song. A nasty rant. Holy cow.

Carter: “‘The Drugs’ was written after a few long conversations with
some beautiful friends of mine who had been struggling with addiction.
Life is a difficult journey, it’s easier with good friends around.”

Frank about Jamie T: “Jamie has been my friend since we bumped into
each other backstage at a gig in Austin, Texas. Gallows had just finished
playing a set, I had been punched in the face and he walked in and I just
smiled a bloody smile and we’ve been friends ever since.”

Their message is loud and clear.

You don’t take the drugs
The drugs take you
Tear your life apart
Until there’s nothing left to lose
They smash apart your mind
And they steal your love
The drugs take you
You don’t ever take the drug
