Heavy Metal legends SAXON wrote ‘And The Bands played On’ anthem (‘Denim and Leather’ album -1981) after their live appearance at the first Monster of Rock festival on Aug 16,1980 at Donington Park and being struck by the hugely enthusiastic response from the crowd.
UK ’s RATTLESNAKES are now pleased to release a cover of that legendary track and explains how this song means a lot to them

” ‘And The Bands Played on’ is a song that collectively created a plethora of joyous memories for us all in RATTLESNAKES!
The reason we also chose to cover this song was also because of the similarities in genre and style we both have and our love for vocal harmonies, which is something very prevalent in this song and we wanted to put our spin on this awesome track by emphasising that! This band has never failed to inspire us in RATTLESNAKES and we hope to honour and bring light upon The Mighty Saxon for the younger generations of rockers by carrying the everlasting torch of HEAVY METAL THUNDER! ”

The band is currently demoing material for their full length debut album, and with it’s wrath filled riffing and commanding vocals, will undeniably make you head bang and generate impassioned sing alongs.

Check RATTLESNAKES out live with label fellows Struck A Nerve and Devastator at London Cart and Horses on May 3rd, 2026.
