Campfire-punk rock cult hero Frank Turner has been making headway ever since 2006. Releasing some of British music’s classic albums from Love Ire & Song (2008) to Tape Deck Heart (2013), to even his historical concept album No Man’s Land (2019). Turner has been bringing positivity and building bridges for almost two decades, complaining about American politics on the ironically titled song “Make America Great Again”, to straight-up telling people to “Be More Kind”- the titled track off of his 2018 album. From Playing at the Olympics to releasing books about music, Frank Turner has done it all.
Frank Turner is now back with his ninth solo album, FTHC, or Frank Turner Hardcore. Possibly leaning on his days with punk-rock band Million Dead, Frank Turner is getting ready for this huge release. Giving us a hint at its sound with upbeat, and more rock-sounding “Haven’t Been Doing So Well”. Trading in his acoustic guitar for his shiny sounding electric, Frank Turner preps us for one of the most exciting turns in his career. There are still signs of his love for that country twang peppered throughout. “It’s exciting to finally get the new music I’ve been working on out into the world after the last miserable 18 months,” Turner said in a statement. The album is set to drop on February 11th, 2022.
Alongside this news, Frank Turner is gearing up for ‘The Never-Ending Tour of Everywhere’ that will see him play… well everywhere. Including stops in Newcastle, Reading, and the city that made him, London. Touring alongside Pet Needs and Truck Stop HoneyMoon, with a special appearance from Snuff for Brixton’s show only. These shows range in size and are sure to be some of Frank’s best shows to date, having had so much time to build up to them.
