Frank Carter

About

Frank Carter isn't just a musician; he's a visceral experience, a tattooed testament to the power of primal scream therapy set to a ferocious, yet surprisingly melodic, soundtrack. Bursting onto the scene with the incendiary hardcore punk of Gallows, Carter quickly established himself as a volatile and captivating frontman. He shed the hardcore skin for the more groove-oriented, though still ferocious, Pure Love before finding his true voice with Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. This project blends elements of punk rock, garage rock, and even a hint of blues, crafting a sound that’s both brutally honest and undeniably catchy. Carter's trajectory has been marked by reinvention and unflinching self-expression. Gallows' incendiary live shows and politically charged lyrics cemented his status as a punk iconoclast. The departure and subsequent formation of Pure Love showcased a vulnerability previously unseen. But it’s with The Rattlesnakes that Carter has fully realized his artistic vision, exploring themes of mental health, love, and societal frustration with raw intensity. Collaborations with artists like IDLES have further solidified his position as a leading figure in contemporary British rock. Currently, Carter continues to tour relentlessly and push the boundaries of his sound, solidifying his place as a vital and uncompromising voice in modern music.
