Irrepressible Brit hard rockers, The Rattlebacks, will release their eagerly awaited debut album, Sidewinder, out everywhere on Friday 15th November. The highly rated rock ‘n’ rollers have also just revealed their explosive new single and video, Dementia Lounge.
The Rattlebacks’ ascension over the last year is highly notable. Formed in 2021 and hailing from Brighton, England, the unrelenting quintet are stuffed to the gills with passion, belief, and seemingly boundless ability.
Built around the towering rhythm section of Seth Markes (drums) and Jack ‘The Hell’ Hollamby (bass), as well as the guitar slinging duo of Coxy (rhythm guitar) and Max Horn (lead guitar), and the impressive pipework of Josh Clarke, The Rattlebacks are destined to become your favourite new band.
The Rattlebacks’ debut EP, Kink, planted the band on the map. The release pricked ears and snared hearty praise from Powerplay Magazine, Fireworks, HRH Magazine, and Metalized. Singles from the EP were greatly received by radio and tastemakers alike, and a raft of sold-out headline shows, as well as a number of live performances with Tailgunner, have only increased the band’s growing stock.
The fiery five-piece are now braced to raise the stakes even higher with the release of their breathtaking debut album, Sidewinder.
The band remark about the record:
“This debut album has been a lifetime in the making, made with the soul intention of reinvigorating the hard rock genre. These fans don’t want rehashed versions of what has been before, they want a band forging their own path and this is the first taste of us doing just that. Hard rock fans have deserved better for far too long, and we believe we’ve delivered the record that fans of the genre have been missing for decades.”
Recorded by maverick producer, David Holmes at Lightship 95, this album is such an accomplished and expansive piece of work. It’s an eleven track, no filler LP, that spans multiple rock sub-genres. THE RATTLEBACKS are the band that the music world needs: raw, honest, powerful, emotive, and completely mesmerising.
Novacaine says:
From the explosive EP 'Kink' that put The Rattlebacks on the map to this very tasty little teaser we've been graced with of their upcoming album, 'Sidewinder', these guys are people you want to keep an eye on! Bringing you the zesty soul of hard rock with their own, spicy flair of sumptuous riffs, powerful vocals and intense drums, The Rattlebacks should be going straight into your playlists, just like they have mine!
And, while you're chomping at the bit for Sidewinder, I highly recommend checking out the Youtube channel for all of their MV's and prior releases for more fantastic content.

Unstoppable UK hard rockers, THE RATTLEBACKS, just keep on rising. The fast-emerging rock ‘n’ rollers have now dropped their killer new single and video, Please Me. The track is lifted from the band’s greatly anticipated debut album, which is set to release later this year.
THE RATTLEBACKS’ climb over the past twelve months has certainly been a marked one. Coming at you from Brighton, England and officially hatched in 2021, the rampant five-piece are a fireball of talent, intrigue and genuine excitement. Featuring the ball busting rhythm section of Seth Markes (drums) and Jack ‘The Hell’ Hollamby (bass), Coxy (rhythm guitar) and Max Horn (lead guitar) serving the riffs, and the towering vocals of Josh Clarke, THE RATTLEBACKS cannot and will not be halted.
To date, the unbridled quintet have released their debut EP, Kink, which bagged critical acclaim from Powerplay Magazine, Fireworks, HRH Magazine, and Metalized, as well as dropping a continuous stream of singles and videos, all of which secured widespread radio airplay and hearty streaming numbers. A flurry of sold-out headline shows and a number of live performances with Tailgunner have only added to the emerging rockers’ increasing profile.
THE RATTLEBACKS charge again with the release of their hugely engrossing new single and video, Please Me. Guitarist, Max Horn discusses the motivation behind the track:
“’Please Me’ is in part inspired by my own struggles in my late teens /early 20’s, and legendary Layne Staley’s tragic final years. Initially setting out to write a song about Layne, I ended up drawing a lot of parallels with my own experiences which really transformed the song into something much more personal than I was expecting. The concept of hating the very thing you’re living for and can’t live without is a very dark one to explore, so the music sounding as positive as it does set against the darker lyrics is a very interesting and complex balance to achieve. With that said, we’ve managed to toe that line rather well.”
Loaded with this scorching new single and with their much-anticipated debut album on the way, THE RATTLEBACKS are destined to be your favourite new band.
Novacaine Rating: 10/10 “The Rattlebacks new single is just like a hot and spicy pepperoni pizza, absolutely delicious and leaves a little after taste on the tongue making you want more! These guys are rising fast, bringing it back to that old school sound with a Rattleback kick that we all will soon know and love”
