Bio

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) who have known each other since birth.

​

The blazing quintet have a staunch passion to deliver hard rock music to a new generation. Tilting their hat to grunge and classic hard rock, whilst integrating modern sensibilities, THE RATTLEBACKS are not a band rehashing a pale imitation of a past incarnation, they proudly stand alone in their own capabilities and are an absolute force of swaggering nature.

​

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 bands such as Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons, Crobot, Tailgunner & The Hell, have only increased the band’s growing stock. 

​

The fiery five-piece then raised 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.” Clearly, the industry agreed, as the album was picked up by Kerrang Radio & Classic Rock Magazine, and never got less than 9/10 across all reviews. The band then embarked on a 40+ date national tour that saw them play the length & breadth of the country.

Now in 2026, a new era begins.
