Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes announce shows in Belfast and Dublin

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes will be coming to the Tivoli Theatre in Dublin on 28 November and to Mandela Hall in Belfast the night before.

The English band released their second studio album, Modern Ruin, last September. Carter says the album is much more personal than what fans might be accustomed to from the tattooed hardcore punk artist. “I wanted to make a classic album, and with Modern Ruin we’ve made a record that takes you on a journey, the same way all of my favourite records did when I was younger. Records that really changed my life: Adrenaline by Deftones, Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence by Glassjaw, Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, Volume 4. by Sabbath, Nevermind by Nirvana. All of these records take you on a journey, they enable a band to show us versatility and they enable the artists to put a flag in the sand and say, ‘This is who I am’. I’ve never really had a flag that truly says that in one bold statement until now, and that’s what Modern Ruin is. You can put this on and get a lot closer to understanding the whole of me from this one record.”

The group was most recently spotted at Glastonbury this weekend for a high energy set on the John Peel stage.
