Frank Carter is a very well dressed man. Not only that, he's a very talented individual with a lot of passion in his heart which translates perfectly into his music. Performing this year on the main stage at Reading Festival for the first time ever, Gigwise caught up with him backstage to talk Gallows, David Bowie and his new band The Rattlesnakes.

With his new band having only really been together for a year and a half, things have been moving quickly for Frank. Selling out headline shows, being billed on the main stage at one of the UK's biggest festivals, and on the verge of releasing their second album, it's all in a days work for the tattooed gent in the nice suit.

Giving Gigwise an exclusive - which might be down to the number of drinks he consumed pre-interview - Frank reveals half of the title of the band's next album, which is due in January, as well as a few other gems. Check out what he had to say below:
