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.”
