It's been approximately six years since Frank Turner first came over to the United States to perform, and a lot has happened since then. By "a lot" I mean going from playing clubs and bars around the world to performing at the Olympic opening ceremonies, headlining Wembley Arena, playing main stage sets at Reading and Leeds, recording four full-length records on prominent record labels, and appearing on a number of splits and compilations to name some of his more uhm... notable achievements...

Wow, Frank Turner is one bummed-out dude. Literally writhing in misery, as he conveys in detail on Tape Deck Heart, the kind of album that doesn't just tell us what it feels like to have your heart cut out, it practically puts us on the operating table during the surgery - which, of course, happens before the anesthesia kicks in. And he does it so well, we willingly bleed right along with him...

Release Date: April 22, 2013 "It was a wonderful life when we were together, and now I've fucked up every little god damn thing." - Plain Sailing Weather Frank Turner has won the adoration of his fans by delivering bluntly truthful, accessible and quotable lyricism alongside simple songwriting. There isn't anything to delve into on a Frank Turner record further than his expectedly brilliant storytelling, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's exactly what we're here for...

The onetime singer of U.K. hardcore band Million Dead, Frank Turner is a grown-ass Englishman who turns out highly quotable, sometimes deliriously catchy rants about life after punk. His fifth LP blooms with crisply enunciated patter about bandmate bromances and childhood memories of cutting himself, with liberal squirts of acid: "Fuck you, Mötley Crüe, for charming us with access and with excess," he croons sweetly in "Good & Gone," a tune so pretty you can hear the dimples...

This reviewer's had a myriad of reasons to steer clear of Frank Turner. All of those involve various songs/records/gigs of his being ruined by the memory of some terrible person or another. In the interest of adulthood, I am now choosing to black out those blotches on memory in order to recover a love that was once lost. Recovery being the key word, and - incidentally - the opening track, one that couldn't have come at a more pressing juncture (for those in the southern hemisphere at least)...

Frank Turner is in reflective mood. Losing Days, complete with the mandolin from REM's Losing My Religion, sings of those days that once lasted a lifetime now lost "in the blinking of an eye". Good And Gone puts the blame for romanticising excess at the door of Motley Crüe, of all people. And Polaroid Picture mourns the closure of the London Astoria to make way for Crossrail, and bemoans new singalongs in "rooms we don't know on the other side of the city"...

Frank Turner records fall into one of two categories; solid front-to-back albums full of memorable sing-alongs and sharp-witted songwriting (2008's career high-point Love Ire & Song, 2011's England Keep My Bones) or a few incredible singles surrounded by, for lack of a more polite word, filler (2009's Poetry of the Deed.) Unfortunately, Tape Deck Heart, the prolific British singer-songwriter's latest offering leans slightly more to the latter category...
