Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have announced new album ‘Dark Rainbow’, due out for release on 26 January 2024.

The English punk rockers have also shared lead single ‘Man of the Hour’, which marks the start of a new era for The Rattlesnakes and questions the idea of rock stardom in this age.

Singer Frank Carter commented, “We talk about how rock and roll will never die, but we never really talk about how maybe the idea of the rock star should die. The whole concept and what it means has always been this glamorised moment, but ultimately when I put that suit on, it didn’t go very well for me.”

“I’m just witnessing the world change so quickly and I’m still trying to come to terms with who I am and what the authentic version of me is. By giving people what I thought they wanted I think I got further and further away from who I actually am.”
