Frank Turner to tour in support of new album

FRANK TURNER (New Album, Poetry of the Deed, Out Sept 8)

Background:
· English punk turned folk singer-songwriter Frank Turner’s roots lie in punk rock, but in 2007 he began playing solo shows which were influenced heavily by his love of country, rock, punk and folk. He’s put out an EP and two full-length albums including 2008’s critically praised album Love Ire and Song (Epitaph will re-issue this album in July). Turner’s heartfelt vocals and relevant lyrics boil over with fiery passion as he tackles themes of love and life with the honesty and poetry inherited from folk forbearers like Billy Bragg and Bob Dylan and all the angst of a kid reared on punk. And his career is only starting as Poetry of the Deed (new album out in Sept) promises to be his best work yet. This July, Turner toured in support of The Offspring, this fall he’ll be touring with The Gaslight Anthem.
