Today, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have announced their new album, Dark Rainbow, set for release January 26th 2024. Accompanying the announcement, the band have also shared its lead single, ‘Man Of The Hour’, which received its airplay debut by Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1’s Future Sounds show last night.
Marking a whole new era for The Rattlesnakes, ‘Man Of The Hour’ questions rock stardom and where it fits in in 2023. Speaking of the track, vocalist Frank Carter states:
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.
He continues:
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.
