From the likes of the Clash, the Damned and Sex Pistols, right through to the more renegade, mischievous likes of KLF and X-Ray Spex, there was a concept of a sense of recklessness in music which gloriously persisted.

But this is not the world that Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes are emerging from. Over the years the musical goalposts have been shifting irrevocably and inevitably, with the result being that the band stand out effortlessly in an endless landscape of relentlessly engineered pop acts and manufactured stadium rock.

This, their sophomore LP, is their striking response: a daring, boldly anthemic record which also happens to be Carter's most infectious to date; a distinctive statement of intent which also happens to be filled with some of the most exquisite melodies which will lodge firmly in your head for days.

The album was recorded by onetime touring Rattlesnake Thomas Mitchener at his Broadfields Studio in Watford, UK, with the 12-song collection later being mixed by Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice).

Carter was the lead singer of Gallows from 2005 to 2011 and recorded two albums with the band before making his exit. Ahead of recruiting the Rattlesnakes, he fronted a more pop-geared project called Pure Love.
