[http://www.rattlesnakeremedy.com www.rattlesnakeremedy.com ] ]"“It's as if one of the biggest rock acts in the world has just landed, disguised. Its not just the music which is breathtaking and flawless, it's the energy, the spring, the communication with an increasingly hysterical audience. Being the hardest touring blues-based rock band in the UK has turned them into one of our finest. KKKKK”" -
