Any pointers? I haven't heard much of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, but the lead singer is the ex-Gallows lead singer and the bit I have heard of the Rattlesnakes does have the Gallows vibe but, perhaps a bit more QOTSA-esque though.

40 Days Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Definitely looking forward to Temples, obvious choices to start with are Shelter Song, Keep In the Dark (I think used on a well-known cider brand's TV advert a few summers ago) and Strange or Be Forgotten from their new record.

The Placid Casual Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) 4 hours ago, Waapster said: How about Biffy Clyro? Everything I've read today tells me i should like them but I'm not sure I'd recognise anything. More of a hits band than an album band but my favourite album of theirs is Puzzle. Has some of my Biffy songs such as Folding Stars, Semi-Mental & Saturday Superhouse. Other tracks that I'm big on are That Golden Rule, Glitter & Trauma, Strung to Your Ribcage, There is No Such Thing as a Jaggy Snake, 57 & Justboy. Only Revolutions is their most commercially successful but I think there's a lot of crap on there.

I started with Yoshimi and found it easier to get into. Soft Bulletin is their best however and it has Race for the Prize on it which is just an incredible tune.

Any pointers? Frank Carter is supposed to be electric live. Missed him a couple of times but judging by some of the vids I've watched he will definitely liven things up...
