Frank Turner

English Folk/Punk singer-songwriter Frank Turner sure has taken the music by storm.

Turner began his musical career at school in a band named Kneejerk. Tue band released three record and played several sows around the UK. Their last record The Half Life Of Kissing was released after the band broke up.

In the early months if 2001 Turner joined post-hardcore band Million Dead. In 2005, after four years and two albums, the band announced their split.

Turner wanted to quit the band, but didn't want to quit the tour. He felt it a hassle to find a band so he thought it the logical thing to do to, 'try my hand at playing theses songs solo'. And so his solo career had started.

Turners first official debut came about in January 2007, with his first album 'Sleep Is For The Week' said by Turner to be 'a snapshot of pretty much exactly one year of my life'.

Next on the agenda for Turner was to get recording again, after his extensive tour including supporting for Biffy Clyro.

Turner released album no. 2 in March of 2008 Love Ire and Song was well received by old and new fans. Turner summarized the title... 'The three things you need in life to be content. Love, Ire- righteous anger- and Song- as in, you know, like a guitar and some Gran Parsons Tunes. This record was re-released in July 09 after Turner signed to Epitaph Records.
The song Photosynthesis is an inspiring song that is enjoyable, likable and catchy, I especially like the lyric 'I won't sit down, I won't shut up and most of all, I will not grow up'. It shows you the sort of person Turner really is.

Next in Turners diary was to get a third hit produced for his folk loving fans. Poetry of the Deed was released September 09. A single from said album The Road was named the Hottest Record in the World Today thanks to Radio 1's well known DJ Zane Lowe.

Following the release of the album Turner and his band traveled playing multiple shows in various venues.

In the summer of 2010 Turner played in multiple festivals and released the Rock & Roll EP. And in March 2011, it was announced in August 2011 Tuner would be playing on the main stage of Reading and Leeds Festival.

Just in time for Reading and Leeds, Turner released his fourth album, England Keep My Bones in June of '11.

The title of the album was taken from Shakespeare's play The Life and Death of King John.
Turner said "I knew that the album was, for the most part, about mortality and about Englishness. Shakespeare seems like a good place to go hunting for some pearls of wisdom, and with a little help from my friend Ben we came across this one, and it just seemed to fit the work really well"
NME described it as "a fearless venture for an artist with something very interesting to say"
Turner recorded his fifth studio album at the end of 2012 and is to be released at the end of the month.

The first single Recovery was released on the fourth of March and released on iTunes the next day. The single recovery is very folky, easy listening and catchy. Frank Turner has managed to create an upbeat way of getting over heartbreak and the recovery you go through.

If you like Frank Turner you will like The King Blues, The Wombats, Pulled Apart By Horses and in some songs traces of Mystery Jets.
This array of artists gives a wide range of sounds to live up to, but he does it amazingly.
