Frank Turner's 2006 EP titled "Campfire Punkrock" is a pretty accurate description of his musical style. A former frontman for the punk band Million Dead, Turner decided to embark on his solo career when the band broke up and he wanted to keep touring without the hassle of putting together a new group. Frank is a solo musician who plays an acoustic guitar along the lines of Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Jason Mraz and Howie Day, especially early in their careers. Now before you let the pop sensation comparisons scare you away I should tell you Turner's music is edgier and definitely takes from his punk rock roots.
Three albums were released in consecutive years from 2006 to 2008, Sleep Is for the Week, Love Ire & Song, and his latest Poetry of the Deed. I'm pretty excited to see Frank Turner at Lollapalooza this year, a little worried about how he might translate to an outdoor setting ala Joe Pug. Also check out the song Love Ire & Song very folksy, funny, and fitting.
