Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - Sticky (IDC024CD) CD

Sticky, the new album from Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, is the sonic eruption of a year-plus of suppressed energy. While it's an escapist experience, recent reality is never too far away. It's there in Go Get A Tattoo, which was inspired by Carter's experience of having to shut his first London based tattoo parlour, Rose of Mercy, almost immediately after it opened. It's just as present in My Town, a suburban vignette of society's collective mental health quickly unravelling.
