Frank Turner is ready. On the other side of the Atlantic in his native UK, he has had a banner
year, seeing his single “I Still Believe” catch fire at radio, nominated for NME’s Best Solo
Artist award, scooping the prestigious ‘Spirit Of Independence’ award from Kerrang, and
headlining a sold-out Brixton Academy show in December. Now Frank Turner is set to
release his highly anticipated fourth album, England Keep My Bones, with contributions from
Hold Steady keyboardist Franz Nicolay, folk singers Emily Barker and Chris T-T, and
Unbelievable Truth’s Andy Yorke. England Keep My Bones comes on the heels of Frank’s
biggest US push so far, a fall tour with Social Distortion, continuing the DIY aesthetic Frank
has brought to conquering America: touring with Chuck Ragan’s Revival Tour, Gaslight
Anthem, and the Offspring, while always taking the opportunity to play at a local record store
or living room along the way. Now that he has built a US base one fan at a time, 2011 looks
set to be the year of Frank Turner.
