British alt rockers FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES have
their 5th full length, baptized DARK RAINBOW out today.

Kerrang says: “Some people’s perception of them may remain stuck in the seething punk rock of the singer’s youth but, in truth – bar the post-pandemic rage unleashed on previous album Sticky – in the studio, they have long since been moving closer to Arctic Monkeys than Gorilla Biscuits. It’s their ambitious fifth record, however – augmented with pianos, synths and strings, heavy with mature power ballads and emotionally charged throughout – that might just make the world appreciate them as the consummate modern rock band they have become.” Full interview here. Score: 4/5.

TUTV: With tensely emotive singles Man Of The Hour and Brambles, tattoo artist Carter seemed to let his angry punk days behind him and move towards classic rock. Now the album confirms that surprising, bold move.

And it’s a truly staggering record, filled with several melodramatic power ballads that generate goosebumps and some stoner rock ebullitions. Carter sings his heart out with monumental vivaciousness. A vocal tour de force throughout, dealing with mixed love emotions. Dark Rainbow will impact your ears for a very long time.

British rockers FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES launch their
5th LP, baptized DARK RAINBOW on 26 January 2024. More info here.

Press info: “The Rattlesnakes have built a reputation for blistering anthems that owe
as much to brooding desert rock as it does hardcore and power-pop. They’re redefining punk-rock with a sound that straddles eras and genres, putting The Rattlesnakes in a category all their own, while also challenging tired cliches and setting the world to rights.”

The first two singles show the softer side, sonically that is, of post-hardcore punk
and tattoo artist Carter and his sidekick. Power balladry at its sensitive best.

Last month FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES shared details of a new album. It’s their fifth, it’s named DARK RAINBOW and lands on 26 January 2024. More info here.

The first single Man Of The Hour was a superb surprise, showing the softer side
of post-hardcore punk and tattoo artist Carter. Power balladry at its very best.

Frank Carter about the second new piece BRAMBLES: “Brambles is a melancholic
bop born from the bramble thorns of love we let grow around us until we are tangled with no method of escaping unscathed. Like our neural pathways become stronger and deeper with each unconscious action, the thorns of love hook deeper and the brambles wrap tighter until we are barely recogniseable and even our loved ones can no longer comfort us or lead us to safety for fear of being cut and torn themselves. An ode to the passion of love and a warning not to get lost in it when you go looking.”

Again we hear the romantic side of Carter, delivered
with avid heart-and-soul endearment. Fervent stroke.
