Irrepressible Brit hard rockers, THE RATTLEBACKS, will release their eagerly awaited debut album, Sidewinder, out everywhere on Friday 15th November. The highly rated rock ‘n’ rollers have also just revealed their explosive new single and video, Dementia Lounge
THE RATTLEBACKS’ ascension over the last year is highly notable. Formed in 2021 and hailing from Brighton, England, the unrelenting quintet are stuffed to the gills with passion, belief, and seemingly boundless ability. Built around the towering rhythm section of Seth Markes (drums) and Jack ‘The Hell’ Hollamby (bass), as well as the guitar slinging duo of Coxy (rhythm guitar) and Max Horn (lead guitar), and the impressive pipework of Josh Clarke, THE RATTLEBACKS are destined to become your favourite new band.
THE RATTLEBACKS’ debut EP, Kink, planted the band on the map. The release pricked ears and snared hearty praise from Powerplay Magazine, Fireworks, HRH Magazine, and Metalized. Singles from the EP were greatly received by radio and tastemakers alike, and a raft of sold-out headline shows, as well as a number of live performances with Tailgunner, have only increased the band’s growing stock.
The fiery five-piece are now braced to raise the stakes even higher with the release of their breathtaking debut album, Sidewinder. The band remark about the record: “This debut album has been a lifetime in the making, made with the soul intention of reinvigorating the hard rock genre. These fans don’t want rehashed versions of what has been before, they want a band forging their own path and this is the first taste of us doing just that. Hard rock fans have deserved better for far too long, and we believe we’ve delivered the record that fans of the genre have been missing for decades.” Recorded by maverick producer, David Holmes at Lightship 95, this album is such an accomplished and expansive piece of work. It’s an eleven track, no filler LP, that spans multiple rock sub-genres. THE RATTLEBACKS are the band that the music world needs: raw, honest, powerful, emotive, and completely mesmerising.
