He was frontman for one of Britain’s most popular punk bands, released one of the biggest punk albums of the last 15 years and has played Reading about 8 or 9 times in three different bands! To be fair I didn’t know he existed til 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf while I'm Gallows he was probably only well known to fans of them or that genre. If you don't like hard-core punk then there is no reason to have known him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 He was very much known outside of a niche. He was the public face of that band and instrumental to them climbing up festival bills and playing bigger venues. And obviously when he went solo, the band fell back down again. I’ve said it before and it sounds a bit strange but I think that BMTH got the press push to the big leagues that Gallows were gonna get. I suppose it’s nice now that Frank is getting up there regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girls like 18 or something though, so would take what they say with a pinch of salt. Did we get any follow up on this?

I suppose it’s nice now that Frank is getting up there regardless. Yeah, he was everywhere for a while. To be fair, whilst I’m surprised that there are people who didn’t know who he is, if you don’t follow that genre you won’t pay much attention. I hadn’t heard of Post Malone or Kendrick Lamar until they were announced last year and until three weeks ago hadn’t heard a 1975 song (wish I still hadn’t haha) so I suppose it’s well possible that people hadn’t heard of Frank Carter who isn’t anywhere near as famous as those guys.(to be fair though, I wouldn’t be classing them as ‘unknown’ on a music blog like the guy that promoted this conversation did) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was frontman for one of Britain’s most popular punk bands, released one of the biggest punk albums of the last 15 years and has played Reading about 8 or 9 times in three different bands! To clarify, I really meant to refer to the group being unknown rather than Frank Carter himself. However, outside of the punk scene he isn’t exactly popular and the music he’s producing with The Rattlesnakes is far more mainstream than what he did with Gallows. For a lot of people who have never really delved into hardcore punk, Frank Carter will be a new name for them. The wording was poor but I’ll stand by the sentiment.

Tom Connolly Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 i think Post should close both sights as he’s bigger and will draw a bigger crowd, would be awkward for the closer to have a smaller crowd than the penultimate act. however personally i wants Pilots to close as i think their music is much more hyped up and it’ll be a better closing show, either way i’m buzzing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No obvious way around though I think i'd say Post down south TOP up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
