Everyone’s favourite folk hero Frank Turner follows the overwhelming successes of the past year with the release of his brand new album ‘Love Ire & Song’ out now through Xtra Mile Recordings.
Frank started making music aged 12, but really came on the scene with 'underground' punk band Million Dead. Towards the end of the band, Frank started to do some shows on his own and rediscovered a lot of the music he grew up with, like the Counting Crows, Johnny Cash, Weezer and so on, as well as getting more and more into country and folk.
When the 'Deadz came to an end Frank tried his hand at playing the songs more publicly and more concertedly than before and thus the 'neverending tour of everywhere' started in October 2005, and hasn't stopped since.
In 2006 he shared stages with everyone from Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Gabby Young, and The Automatic. He also managed to find time to release debut EP 'Campfire Punkrock' in May 06 with old mates Xtra Mile Recordings, and then went on to record debut album 'Sleep Is For The Week'.
Since the release of the record in January 07, Frank has steadily continued his one-man assault on world domination by touring the UK and USA extensively supporting Biffy Clyro, headlining the Softcore Tour with pals Josh English, Jacob Golden and Jonah Matranga and playing a storming set at Reading and Leeds Festival and 2008 is going even better still with first single 'Photosynthesis', featuring The Holloways, coming out digitally to much acclaim andgetting plays on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show by fans and new buddies Hadouken and by Mike Davies on his Punk Show.
