    His old band, million dead, are incredible, if anybody likes post-hardcore I highly recommend their 'harmony no harmony' album

    Thanks for bringing this to light - never heard of him before and thanks to the forum, I've found him now, am listening to him now and am LOVING this shit. Hopefully I'll be in Calgary for the show. If I am, guaranteed I'm going so ... thanks again.

    I think I'm a little bit in love. :lol:

    seriously though, very energetic show, great singalongs, just a great fun concert all in all. while some songs don't particularly stand out to me, he has a couple that are just absolutely awesome. I wish I could see another show this tour, but maybe next year! unfortunately he'll be nowhere nearby when I go to the US for PJ :( is he super-famous in England? he seems to be playing quite big venues there.

    His last LP Tape Deck Heart has become a big seller. Although he is not mega well known, he is now playing large venues on his UK tour next year. The man is a genius.

    I cannot get enough of Frank Turner at the moment, listening to him every day. Saw him in Cardiff last month and it was a really brilliant gig, lots of energy. This man is a genius, some of his lyrics just blow me away :)

    The day before yesterday, I have been to my 4th FT gig in the last 15 month and it really was - like always - an amazing concert. FT did a very good job on stage, even it was really realy hot in the hall. He played 4 new songs, which Josephine is the best of. I am looking forward to listen to this song on a studio cd.

    Saw him play acoustic back in December of 2015 at vintage vinyl, a local record shop here in jersey. After he finished playing, he hung around and said hello to and hugged literally every person that attended. I've never seen someone more humble to people that just love him

    Really loving the new album 'Be More Kind' different sound than his previous work but still so Frank, saw him for the 6th time in Exeter recently and he is SO good live. If you get the chance to see him, go for it you won' regret it!

    Saw him play last week in a fairly intimate venue, I'd never seen him live before, but it was an incredible show.
