Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have today released their new album ‘Sticky’ and it’s set to cement the band’s reputation as the most exciting partnership in British punk. They have always had a reputation for raw, eviscerating energy, but this album takes that power and channels it into the most fiery and immediately addictive record of their career.  It is the first time they have worked with feature artists – Bobby Gillespie, Joe Talbot (IDLES), Lynks and Cassyette.

Recent months have seen the pair unleashed after the UK’s lockdown and upping the ante in every way: infiltrating the airwaves with their biggest track to date, the Radio 1 B-listed ‘My Town’ (featuring Joe Talbot of IDLES); smashing their headline set at Download – the first major festival in the UK since their lockdown; and holding nothing back with this state-of-the-nation address of a new album.

“This entire record is a celebration of everything that has been taken away from us, the chaos that makes us human,” says Carter. “The emotional scavengers we are, hunting around in all the wrong places for an immediate feeling we can compartmentalise and inject straight into our hearts without fear of consequence.”

Produced by guitarist Dean Richardson, ‘Sticky’ seizes the day from the very beginning when Carter hollers, “I go where monsters dwell / Dancing like a madman through a personal hell.” And it doesn’t let up over a full-throttle thirty minutes. Eviscerating punk riffs collide with Carter’s Keith Flint / Sid Vicious rebel yell.  And the most boisterous, beefiest beats of their career provides the supporting structure for an army of charismatic underdogs – provocative newcomers Lynks and Cassyette, plus the inimitable Joe Talbot and Bobby Gillespie – to add their voice to Carter’s rabble-rousing sermons.

With ‘Sticky’, Carter and Richardson have an album that’s nostalgic, classic and timeless, but one that also pours the frustrations of the COVID era into a cathartic release of pent-up fury. One record can’t change the world, but ‘Sticky’ provides a 30-minute thrillride of an escape.

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have become international favourites in Australia, having sold out multiple headline tours including their largest run of shows here to date in January 2020, with rooms including The Croxton and Wrangler (VIC), Altar (TAS), The Triffid (QLD), Roundhouse (NSW), The Gov (SA), and The Rosemount (WA). In 2019 they also joined Bring Me The Horizon on their Australian arena tour, alongside You Me At Six and Trophy Eyes.
