Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes is a British rock band led by Frank Carter, formerly the frontman of the hardcore punk band Gallows and later of Pure Love. Formed after those earlier projects, the Rattlesnakes gave Carter a vehicle for a raw, aggressive sound rooted in punk and hardcore but shot through with hooky, anthemic songwriting.

The band's music is defined by Carter's ferocious, confrontational vocal delivery paired with riff-driven guitar work, sitting at the intersection of punk, hardcore and alternative rock, occasionally softened by more melodic or emotionally raw moments. Albums such as Blossom established the band's reputation for visceral live energy and unfiltered anger channeled into tightly written songs.

Over subsequent releases the band has continued to explore both brutal intensity and more anthemic, arena-ready rock, with tracks like «Vampires» and «Crowbar» showing their range. Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes are known for explosive live shows and a devoted following built on Carter's reputation as one of British rock's most intense frontmen.
