Parece que Frank Turner se ha cansado de guitarras acústicas, violines y ritmos country. El que fuera cantante de la banda de punk hardcore Million Dead ha decidido aparcar el remanso de paz musical que le ha venido acompañando desde hace seis años y retomar la senda de la música dura, al menos temporalmente. No sabemos si Turner le habrá pedido permiso a su madre para volver a ser hardcore como aquél famoso niño de la televisión chilena, pero según anunció el propio artista el pasado sábado en el festival Reading And [...]
Palehorse Soft As Butter, Hard As Ice Eyesofsound 02 March 2011 by Andy Parker Why cock about with guitars when you can have two bassists? That's the mantra of Palehorse, the London quartet that have been grinding on and off for over a decade. 20082s Habitual Linestepper saw their return after an eight year hiatus [...]
Here's a fast and noisy demo from Future of the Left . Their new album is definitely one of my most anticipated records of 2011. The band posted two more demos on their Official.fm site called "My Wife Is Unhappy" and "Notes on Achieving Orbit." The band has had some lineup shifts from the last record, bassist Kelson is gone and replaced by Julia Ruzicka, formerly of Million Dead and they added another guitarist, Jimmy Watkins, who also plays in Welsh band Strange News From Another Star .

Frank Turner has re-invented himself in a very deliberate and apolitical fashion. This fall he is embarking on a tour with label mates Social Distortion to bring his brand of literate musings on love, jet lag and pub-crawls to the United States. It is just another step forward in a career that has been anything but stagnant.

I have known about Frank Turner for quite a while now. Either through Million Dead or his extensive and heartfelt collection of singles, splits, EPs, and full length albums. All of which flutter with honesty and the charming singer-songwriter style that has made Mr. Turner a genuine addition to this year's Bonnaroo line-up. Last year's Poetry of the Deed was a much deserved critically acclaimed album that proved that Frank Turner can pull away from the 'singer-songwriter' tag and branch out with richer orchestration. He's becoming the respected artist that he was [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Exclusive The words "Always On Tour" are emblazoned across the top of Frank Turner 's concert posters and that's not much of an overstatement. Turner embarked on a folk-punk solo career after his hardcore punk band Million Dead broke up in 2005 and, by the end of this year, will have already played 1,000 shows. The Bahrain-born, British-raised singer/songwriter launched his latest North American tour on Jan 25 with a concert in my house and played two club shows and [...]
Frank Turner was on the 3rd dogcast! and is one of my favorite artists doing ex-punk folk. His previous band was called Millions Dead and was kind of like these arms are snakes.

A few years back I caught melodic hardcore band Million Dead play an intimate show at The Camden Underworld to a young crowd gathered to see what all the fuss was about. The band were making an impression on the British music press and receiving rave reviews for their live performances along the way. The [...]
A quartet of new names have been added to the Sonisphere Festival bill - Welsh rockers Feeder, Ragga-metal renegades, Skindred (pictured aboved), American emo-rockers, Taking Back Sunday, and ex-Million Dead frontman-turned-solo artist, Frank Turner. Watch the video to 'Trouble' by Skindred Further to this, festival organisers have promised an even bigger line-up announcement sometime next week. Any guesses on who it'll be? Tickets for Sonisphere Festival are onsale now from the festival's official website . [...]
Tonight's gig was advertised as being in the basement at Rock City but the Gaslight Anthem's rapid rise to fame seems to have put paid to that. When we arrive people are queuing down the street to pay on the door. Turns out we're not in the basement at all but in the main hall and it's just about full. The Gaslight Anthem's take on Americana is eighties-ish and unashamedly Springsteen. They are perhaps what the E Street band would have sounded like had they not had a few hits and crossed over to the dark side [...]
Audiversity's weekly column, slightly modified, on random music in a predetermined number of words between 1 & 150. This week's randomly generated number: 104 MA: With one of the most interesting fusions of styles in modern music, Thomas Mapfumo 's chimurenga music intertwines funk, soul and 60's pop-rock into Zimbabwe's native Shona music . While the groove of a track like "Matiregerera Mambo" (which I have a sneaking suspicion is actually titled "Hokoyo" and my tracklisting is just off) [...]
