Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have released new single ‘Parasite’ via AWAL today.
The track follows their recent collaboration with Jamie T on ‘The Drugs’ and it was premiered on BBC Radio 1’s Future Sounds with Clara Amfo last night as the ‘Hottest Record’.
‘Parasite’ observes the toxicities of modern dating and showcases the band’s aptitude for melody, while capturing the raw punk energy synonymous with the Rattlesnakes.
Speaking on the track, Frank explains: “‘Parasite’ was conceived on a particularly brutal trip to the seaside where both Dean and I were in a difficult time in our lives and feeling low. It rained for a week straight and I visited Beachy Head every day and I walked the beaches below the cliff and stared at the sea. I spent hours on the phone to various friends around the world and listened to their relationship problems but I had no words of comfort, no solutions to find. Instead, I just listened and I soaked it up. The collective witnessed horrors of the worldwide dating pool seemed to mirror experiences closer to home. On the last day of the trip at midnight I began writing and by 3am a new Parasite had been discovered.”
Alongside the new track, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have announced a three-night residency at London’s The Underworld from 6th to 8th December 2022. The intimate gigs will be extra special for fans as the band usually play much larger venues.
Frank says: “The Underworld is a legendary London venue; I grew up going to shows there as a kid and saw some of my favourite bands play shows there that changed my life and shaped who I was as a performer. From playing there with Gallows in 2005, to playing Pure Love’s final show there in 2014 and then selling it out a year later with Rattlesnakes, it feels fitting to return to one of the greatest punk rock and metal venues not only in London, but the world to close out 2022 and round off a month of gigs with Rattlesnakes.”
