We are super excited to announce the first Fret Rattles studio release in 4 years!! 

Our track “Thanks For Nothing” (Take a listen here!) was recorded by Ali Jaafar at Shock and Audio and Ecstattic Studios right before Covid-19 hit. The song is available on vinyl exclusively on the Rock N' Roll Manifesto 7" Series Vol 1 released Sept 1st. This is a new series of killer rock 7” EPs curated by a man of fine rock taste, Mr. Greg Lonesome of Real Punk Radio’s Rock N' Roll Manifesto. 

Vol 1 also features three other amazing bands: Tiger Touch (Portland, OR), JJ and the Real Jerks (Redondo Beach, CA) and The Missile Studs (Adelaide, Australia). To top it off, this rock action is also being co-released by Australian label Stamp Out Disco Records and will be limited to 500 copies in 3 different color options (Black/Bone/Red).

Hey everybody! 
Sir Chad did an hour-long interview about everything Fret Rattles with the Blast Beats n' Bicycles podcast this week! We cover the history of the band, recording and song writing process, being a band in Covid-19, The Hook and Ladder Theater & Lounge fundraiser, new songs and upcoming releases, our now canceled fall East Coast tour, and of course we spin plenty of rock! 
Listen on the attached link. 

Listen Here!

Thanks again to Blast Beats n’ Bicycles for having us!

We are donating 30 copies of Fret Rattles “Live at The Hook and Ladder” DVD/CD to help benefit our favorite hometown place to play, the non-profit music venue, The Hook and Ladder! They are located in the center of where the unrest in MPLS took place and are one of the few buildings that survived (but were damaged). Before returning to music, the owners have decided it was their “moral responsibility” to use the space for community outreach for this heavily impacted neighborhood. 

A copy costs $20 each through PayPal and all money after shipping will go directly to restoring The Hook and Ladder and helping the cause. 

Please email or PayPal fretrattles@gmail.com or FB message us at https://www.facebook.com/fretrattlesband/ to place an order. US only please. 

Here is a video from Fret Rattles “Live at The Hook and Ladder”.

Thanks for your support!

Like everyone else we have been very busy scrambling to adjust our lives to the new “norm”. All our upcoming spring shows are canceled but we will be ready to rock when this is all over!! 

For now everyone please stay SAFE!! 

Rock and roll will wait for all of us.
