It has been a little while since Frank Carter burst onto the stage at Reading with his latest single “My Town”, the first single off his new album Sticky. It was a performance with the same passion and rawness that he has shared ever since his first album Blossom (2015). The atmosphere surrounding Sticky being as violently anticipated as the doors to a nightclub the night after lockdown. It was almost certain that after the End Of Suffering (2019), we were going to have the catchy rhetoric of Hertfordshire’s golden boy stuck in our teeth like popcorn from the latest James Bond flick.
Singles like “Go Get A Tattoo”, “Off With His Head”, and previously mentioned “My Town”, shows the dedication to mosh heavy rock that Frank Carter has been blasting out to crowds for 6 years- if we don’t include his work with previous bands. With a new love for featuring artists on his songs that we haven’t seen before in previous albums.
With sophomore Modern Ruin (2017) and follow-up album End Of Suffering (2019), Carter has made a name for himself as a stand-out performer and forward-thinking musician. But, Sticky shows his dedication to the craft, while outshining anything he’s done before. Sticky is the fourth album from tattoo enthusiastic Frank Carter and his rhumba of rattlesnakes. It is great to see that they are still coming up with new and inventive ways to get people to simultaneously Cathrin-wheel their arms and ripping their vocal cords repeatedly shouting “Bang Bang”. Sticky is sure to be topping the charts this coming week, as Frank Carter songs like “Cobra Queen” receive thousands of streams.
With tour dates starting in just under a month, Frank Carter will be blowing up stages across the UK. Starting off with a killer show at Nottingham Rock City on the 11th of November. Flooding through Southampton, Birmingham, and even Manchester, on this course for mayhem.
