I first became interested in Turner via 2006's Campfire Punkrock EP, became a fan of last year's Love Ire & Song and became a follower after seeing him perform twice at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas in March. I picked up his The First Three Years rarities collection on vinyl after seeing him perform again and...

I was probably one of only two people at the Amphitheatre who was there primarily to see opening act Frank Turner (the other being my friend Michael, who was putting up the British singer/songwriter at his house for the night), and the two bands that followed didn't sway my opinion. Turner's Love Ire & Song (which was recently picked up by...

Frank Turner — Love Ire & Song

Turner is a former member of British punk band Million Dead who has since gone solo. This follow-up to his Sleep Is For The Week debut displays sharp and incisive songwriting skills and a cleverness that puts him in a league with two similar artists: Billy Bragg and Ted Leo. Many of his songs are message-oriented, as "I Knew Prufrock Before...

Somebody call 911! Sean Kingston was critically injured yesterday evening while jet skiing in Miami... he apparently crashed his water craft into a bridge. We want him to get better, but how do you not notice something like a bridge is right in front of you? Supertramp are playing Vancouver this Thursday! Their date got moved to accomodate the...

Frank Turner's Still Punk... Even With His Acoustic Guitar

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) January 22, 2010 3:42 pm
British singer/songwriter Frank Turner's Poetry Of The Deed, his latest solo effort released last fall, revels in acoustic guitars and sturdy melodies. It's rich and sinewy, and has been garnering fans worldwide. Amusingly enough, though, it has also sent just as many reeling. You see, Turner wasn't always a crooner. Until 2005, he fronted...

I'm on a quest to hear great music until the first few days of spring at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, and I intend to do it without spending a penny on food. Here's the report from my third day in the live music capital of the world: I missed getting on the SOCAN boat cruise, with its free sandwiches and beer, by a...

This is basically Billy Bragg, except that it's not Billy Bragg, but some other english dude named Frank Turner that sounds like him and even has an angry song about about Thatcher, too.
