Frank Turner is an English singer-songwriter, a former vocalist for legendary UK punk band Million Dead now turned to silencing rowdy crowds with his passion and an acoustic guitar as he opens for the likes of the Offspring. Like an earlier singer with roots in the punk movement, Billy Bragg, Turner spits out songs that are at once effortless and heartfelt, filled with venom, self-doubt, and love for the everyday people he meets in the street. Now Turner prepares to conquer America, opening for Gaslight Anthem on a national tour this fall, after winning the band over as opening act for their UK tour. With a run opening for the Offspring this summer, Turner has set up the release of his US debut, Poetry of the Deed, perfectly, and it's only a matter of time before US audiences discover what UK fans already know that Frank Turner is a powerful new voice in the realm of socially-conscious, get-up-off-yer-arse songwriting.
