Frank Carter is finally back, but not as the 23-year-old who greeted everyone with a solid right hook back in 2007. He brings his band The Rattlesnakes with him on this fierce tour that’s something like a punch in the face.

This is a man who has faced the blunt force trauma of modern life at its most unforgiving, and no – he’s not bloody happy about it. He has plenty to say and is asking you to sit up, switch on and listen. It’s time for Frank Carter to make punk rock dangerous again and it’s time for Australia to witness his rebirth.
