On October 4, UK-based punk rockers Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes shared with fans near and far that they’re taking a hiatus. Most recently, the duo released their January 2024 LP Dark Rainbow. Though, a deluxe 22-track version of the record is arriving on October 11. You can pre-save it here.
On social media, Frank Carter and Dean Richardson shared a joint statement. It reads, “9 years, 5 Albums, hundreds of stages shared all over the world and our songs sung with each and every one of you. It is with sadness we announce that The Rattlesnakes are taking a hiatus.”
They continue, “From the deepest lows to highest highs, in grief in anger and in joy, our band has been a celebration of being alive no matter the circumstances. We want to send our love and thanks to the band – Gareth, Tank, Elliot & Mitch. It’s been a privilege to share the stage with some of the best musicians we know.”
Finally, it says, “So please join us all in celebration of the songs that changed our lives.”
