The song, which marks the first new music from the British outfit since 2019\u2019s&nbsp;\u2018End of Suffering,\u2019 debuted earlier today via BBC Radio 1, with Annie Mac declaring it the \u201c<em>Hottest Record in the World<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced by guitarist Dean Richardson, a first for the band, the result is incendiary. <em>My Town<\/em> is another example of why the pair are one of the most exciting outfits to emerge from England in recent history, and why Carter \u2013 since his early days in hardcore punk band Gallows and then as Pure Love \u2013 has become a vital voice in UK music,<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>rallying against injustice, the patriarchy, right-wing politics and toxic masculinity. Watch the video clip via YouTube below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gx59hOw2HcA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rewind to February 2020, the band had just played the gig of their lives, headlining Alexandra Palace in London when the world pressed the pause button. They initially went into the studio to bottle that intensity, fresh off the road with a powerful live show and on the heels of the #4 debut for&nbsp;\u2018End of Suffering\u2019. But during the uncertainty of the past year, where they snatched pockets of time to write together when they could, Carter and Richardson ended up with something far gnarlier, channeling all their frustrations and the grittiness of the city into new music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>My Town\u201d is a bruising metaphor for \u201cour collective mental health falling apart,\u201d<\/em> says Carter. It is a metaphoric look at the collective mental health of a world after a barrage of lockdowns. Imagining every person as a town and its residents, the town representing the mental stability and wellbeing of that person. Frank says: \u201c<em>It\u2019s easy to dissociate when it\u2019s someone else\u2019s problem but we are each responsible for keeping the streets clean, looking out for our fellow neighbours and acting with kindness and respect as we walk through life. We can look into this town and see the seedy underbelly, the dirt, the disdain, the undercurrent of hate and despair. And then we are reminded that \u2018My Town\u2019 looks just like yours, and no one gives a fuck at all and if we don\u2019t start looking after ourselves soon then we are all going to be in big trouble.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song also features Joe Talbot of Idles. Carter says he saw Talbot\u2019s Bristol-based band perform and couldn\u2019t stop crying &#8211; \u201c<em>they had a tremendous effect on me\u201d<\/em> &#8211; and the two have since become firm friends. Carter invited Talbot to guest, and the result is this stand out track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of three albums since 2015, Carter and Richardson have built a reputation for blistering anthemia that owes as much to brooding desert rock as it does to blistering hardcore and power-pop \u2013 sex, rage and letting rip. They\u2019re the very definition of a modern rock band, both artists as well as musicians \u2013 Richardson with his design studio, YUCK, and Carter, a well-known tattoo artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about Frank Carter &amp; The Rattlesnakes, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/andtherattlesnakes.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">andtherattlesnakes.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Frank Carter &amp; The Rattlesnakes return with the exhilarating new single, My Town, and its accompanying video, both featuring Joe Talbot of Idles.
