Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have announced an indefinite hiatus following the completion of their upcoming tour dates. The band recently released their acclaimed new album Dark Rainbow via the AWAL label. The band has had several headline tours and select festival appearances to promote the album. In a recent exclusive interview with Ghost Cult, Frank and Dean discussed the burnout they were feeling after 5 albums released in nine years and that a hiatus/open ended break might be coming. Good luck fellas! We’ll miss you.
The band said in a statement:
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.
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.
So please join us all in celebration of the songs that changed our lives.
Our UK and European Tour will go ahead and we look forward to seeing you all on the dancefloor.
Frank & Dean
