Frank Turner is back with a new download only single, The Road, due for release on August 31, through XtraMile Recordings/Epitaph Records. This immediately catchy slice of Folk/Punk is taken from Frank Turners forthcoming album Poetry Of The Deed.

Poetry Of The Deed, Turners third album will be released a week after the single on September 7. Grammy nominated producer Alex Newport( Death Cab For Cutie, At The Drive-In, Two Gallants) was drafted in by Turner to capture the essence of his live shows on record, the results are a big, lush album that showcases Turner’s growing maturity in song writing and style – perfectly.

The Road is accompanied by a video of Frank’s quite honestly mental attempt to play 24 shows in 24 hours. This involved posting a request on his blog for a load of London-based places where he could come and play a few songs. Tiny front rooms and kitchens, roof terraces and warehouses, music magazine offices and a record store were all donated and Frank played them all, culminating at a crowded and raucous finale at North London’s Flowerpot venue. Absolute lunacy!

Having just finished a US tour supporting The Offspring, Turner continues with an impressive tour of the UK and USA starting with UK Festival dates in August and then supporting good friends The Gaslight Anthem on their US tour in September. Turner will then start his biggest UK headlining tour to date, including an already sold out date at Manchester’s Academy 2 and finishing at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire.
