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 will be celebrating the fifth anniversary of “Blossom” by releasing a new deluxe edition of the album on September 18. This version of the effort will come with a bunch of bonus content that was recorded in 2015. This includes three previously unreleased songs and 12 live recordings. A video for one of the new tracks, “Fire,” can be found below:

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.”
