THE RATTLEBACKS



Rampant UK hard rockers, THE RATTLEBACKS, explosive debut album, Sidewinder, is set for release on Friday 15th November. The formidable rock crew have also just detailed their killer new single and video, Waste.





THE RATTLEBACKS’ trajectory throughout the past year has been mightily impressive. Born in 2021 and hitting your senses from Brighton, England, the deeply engrossing quintet are stacked with talent, determination, drive and energy. Framed by powerful 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 striking vocals of Josh Clarke, THE RATTLEBACKS are poised to break out in 2025.


THE RATTLEBACKS’ debut EP, Kink, announced their arrival in glorious style. The release garnered strong acclaim from Powerplay Magazine, Fireworks, HRH Magazine, and Metalized. Singles from the EP were greatly received by radio and tastemakers alike, and a slew of sold-out headline shows, as well as a number of live performances with Tailgunner, have only amplified the band’s increased profile.

The potent five-piece are now ready to push even further with the release of their highly absorbing 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’twant 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 producer, David Holmes at Lightship 95, this album is such a proficient and sprawling piece of work. It’s an eleven track, no filler LP, that encompasses multiple rock sub-genres. THE RATTLEBACKS are the band that the music world needs: powerful, honest, commanding, emotive, and absolutely enthralling.
