Rattleshack

Rattleshack are a country group from the United Kingdom. Their music is rooted in country but draws on punk and hard rock influences, with references to The Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams shaping their approach. They are associated with the fenlands of the east of the UK, and their style is described as country with an edge rather than a straightforward traditional sound.

The group name is given to them by JD Wilkes, the frontman of Th' Legendary Shack Shakers. Their material includes the opening track Dead Man's Creek, which features Bob Wayne. They also work with The Dirt Daubers, The Pine Hill Haints, Vince Ray and Miss Izzy Cox.

Their music is presented as a rougher, darker take on country, sometimes compared to “Johnny Clash” in spirit. The group is described as living, working and playing in the country, with imagery tied to pickup trucks, mud, hunting and self-reliance.
