Rattlesnakes with their wrath – filled riffs, powerhouse growls and our sweat dripping, head – banging, intoxicating live shows, Rattlesnakes are a Nottingham based heavy metal band that even the most faithful companions cannot resist a night with. Charisma for days and melodies that can’t be wiped away as easily as last night’s eyeliner, you don’t wanna miss the chance to see them in action! Their debut EP, Deeper Shades Of Torment, released on April 11th 2025, and it has been met with critical acclaim, thousands of streams, high review scores, as well as a successful headline tour with multiple sold out and high selling dates. Rattlesnakes, having only debuted in 2024, are soaring their way to the top of the heavy metal ladder and gaining a reputation as one of the most exciting and refreshing, up and coming Hard Rock/Heavy Metal acts in the UK! Having signed to Listenable Records in January of 2026, Rattlesnakes are continually proving themselves to be a promising, soon to be staple name in the Metal scene.

Fred Zeppelin are renowned as the top Led Zeppelin tribute in the UK. 2026 marks Fred Zeppelin's 33rd year together. During their time together they have had the honour of Led Zeppelin’s front-man Robert Plant attending three of their gigs and John Bonham’s son Jason even jammed with them on stage. These things the band are very proud of. It must surely also be the best recommendation any band could receive, and also assure any Led Zeppelin fans apprehensive about seeing The Fredz. According to one of Kerrangs readers polls. FRED ZEPPELIN are among the top ten best live bands to see. Quite an achievement, as they were the only tribute band listed in any category. Its worth taking a camera with you, as you don’t know who could be standing next to you. In the audience have been MAGNUM’s front-man Bob Catley, WHITESNAKE’s guitarist Mel Galley. Roy Wood legendary main man of THE MOVE & WIZZARD, and SLADE'S Jimmy Lea was the latest rock celebrity to experience a two-hour Fred Zeppelin gig. The Fredz will still continue with their tradition of honouring the music of Led Zeppelin whilst not dressing up. It's the music that means most to them.
