Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have premiered a new video for their new song “Off With His Head.” The track, which features Cassyette, is from the band’s new album “Sticky,” which will be released on October 15.
Carter commented:
“Patriarchal society is a plague; it’s a pyramid scheme. It has strict regulations regarding who and how it benefits and is unique in its ability to oppress people at the exact same time it benefits them. ‘Off With His Head’ is a scathing generalized attack on trolls whose only joy in life is flexing their sixth-form grammar and Proud Boy mentality with the same smug tact as both sides of the fence in ‘Good Will Hunting’. The patriarchy is the worst because it enables all men to exist in a greater quality of life than all women and children, and while doing so, it also organizes the men into an untenable hierarchy that excludes a high percentage of men. Patriarchal society is designed to support apex predators.”
Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have premiered a new video for their new song “Go Get A Tattoo.” The track, which features Lynks, is from the band’s new album “Sticky,” which will be released on October 15.
Carter commented:
“This song is a love letter to tattooing and how it’s made me feel over the years. Without tattooing, I wouldn’t be the person I am. It gives me a way to get closer to friends, family and fans, and provides intimate connections with people to create memories that can last lifetimes. I signed the lease for my first ever tattoo shop Rose of Mercy on March 1, 2020. Within 3 weeks, we were closed and I had no idea when we were going to open. I’m not sure if I ever truly took tattooing for granted (I’d like to think I’ve always had respect for it), but I do know that I won’t ever take it for granted in the future, and when this global pandemic is over, I will be traveling more and tattooing constantly as it’s a gift and should be shared. So, if you are stuck in a rut, or you need to mark a big moment, or you fancy a permanent change, or you just want to look cooler, look for the rose 🌹.”
Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have announced that their new album “Sticky” will be released on October 15. You can find a lyric video for the title track below:
Carter commented:
“‘Sticky’ is about that moment where you’re drunk at a bus stop at 3AM. You know there are no more buses, but you sit there anyway because you’re too fucked to figure out your options. Your kebab is on the floor, there’s a Stella in your pocket, and you’re woken up by a dirty little fox eating your shoes.”
“Someone described it to me as they felt their youth when they were listening to the record. When you make albums, those are the ones you want to make. Nostalgic, but classic. Timeless, and also modern.”

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have teamed up with Joe Talbot (Idles) for a new song titled “My Town.” You can find an official video for that track below. Carter commented:
“[It’s] our collective mental health falling apart. It’s easy to dissociate when it’s someone else’s problem but we are each responsible for keeping the streets clean, looking out for our fellow neighbors and acting with kindness and respect as we walk through life. We can look into this town and see the seedy underbelly, the dirt, the disdain, the undercurrent of hate and despair. And then we are reminded that ‘My Town’ looks just like yours, and no one gives a fuck at all and if we don’t start looking after ourselves soon then we are all going to be in big trouble.”

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have officially cancelled their full North American tour. This news comes after Carter was recently involved in a serious car accident.
The group commented:
“Due to injuries Frank sustained in last week’s car accident, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes will no longer be performing at any dates on the North American tour scheduled to take place in September and October.
Unfortunately Frank has been advised by doctors not to travel – let alone perform – for a number of weeks. This has made it impossible for us to honour the dates booked and we regrettably have to cancel. We are all absolutely devastated by the current situation but as stated before, Frank and Pete are both incredibly lucky to have survived the crash without even more serious injuries. We are so sorry to our fans across the country who had bought tickets, and The Beaches and Evan Konrad who were joining us for the tour.
We are working on our plans to return and hope to be back in the spring of 2020. Details of this will be shared as soon possible but for refunds and further details on the cancelled dates please visit venue websites.
Thank you always, for the support. We do not take it for granted and will see you soon.
Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have been forced to cancel the initial dates of their upcoming North American tour. The cancellation comes after Carter was recently involved in a serious car accident.
Carter commented:
“On Thursday night at 7:20pm I was involved in a serious car accident in Devon, UK. I crawled out of the wreck with some cuts and scrapes, a kneecap in the wrong place, bruised ribs and a headache that won’t go away.
My friend Pete was less fortunate, he was cut from the wreckage by no less than eleven firefighters with a triple fractured pelvis, ruptured spleen, multiple broken ribs and the kind of cuts and bruises you get from being hit by a car.
We were all taken by ambulance to Derriford A&E where I stayed until 7:30am the next morning when I was finally released with a collection of minor injuries and a new appreciation of living.
I have unfortunately been told I am unable to fly while my body recovers. As it stands the first week of our American tour will not proceed as planned. We looked at all the ways I could come and play the shows but once the doctor had seen me it was clear flying to New York this weekend was not an option. We will do everything in our power to make it up to you and are reviewing all the options including rescheduling.
Due to the last minute nature of this situation we are not able to give news on when these might be rescheduled but please trust us in that we are working on it and will have an update soon. We are truly sorry to the fans who bought tickets and to the legends The Beaches who are driving to New York as I write this. Check the venue websites for more information on refunds or new dates.
Currently affected shows are the following:
09/23 – New York, Bowery Ballroom
09/24 – Baltimore, Ottobar
09/25 – Philadelphia, Underground Arts
09/27 – Louisville, Louder Than Life Festival
09/28 – Detroit, El Club
09/29 – Chicago, Cobra Lounge
We are lucky to be alive and I hope to be well enough to play the rest of the tour.
Thank you for your understanding and your support.”
