Turner on his socials: “After the pandemic, back in the independent world, with a new drummer, I feel proud, grateful and pleasantly surprised to be putting out a record that
I love with all my heart, that I think might be one of my best. It’s a defiant, energetic record about growing old disgracefully and making peace with that. I’m still standing up, still have something to share with the world, and I’m excited to let you know about it.”

Following flaming singles No Thank You For The Music and Do OneTurner delivers another whopper that takes your breath away in 1.46 minutes just like The Vaccines are capable of.
British rock celeb FRANK TURNER (aged 42) has announced
his 10 full-length, named UNDEFEATED. It lands on 4 May.
Turner on his socials: “Well friends, I could not be more excited to announce to you my tenth studio album, Undefeated. Released 3rd May 2024 on Xtra Mile Recordings. After the pandemic, back in the independent world, with a new drummer, I feel proud, grateful and pleasantly surprised to be putting out a record that I love with all my heart, that I think might be one of my best. It’s a defiant, energetic record about growing old disgracefully and making peace with that. I’m still standing up, still have something to share with the world, and I’m excited to let you know about it. So, here we go! ‘Do One’ was the final song I wrote for this album. I felt like I needed a song to sum up where I’m at in one short burst – revitalised, rebellious, having fun, and still a sucker for a big singalong. I hope you enjoy the song, and I can’t wait to sing it with you at a show sometime this year.”

On first single DO ONETurner does what he does best. Writing huge complex-free,
pronto sing/scream along corkers. The chorus will be consumed by countless euphoric throats at his upcoming concerts/festivals.
“Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
I’m still standing up and there’s nothing
you can do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
I’m still standing up”
Last week punkette Amyl and her Sniffers dropped their second smashing
album Comfort To Me on Planet Earth with ‘Hertz‘ as one of the razzle-dazzle jackhammers.
Time for some kangaroo pogo, all you punks out there…
Brian Molko (frontman): “If the song serves to irritate the squares and the
uptight, so gleefully be it. But it remains imperative for me that each listener
discovers their own personal story within it – I really don’t want to tell you
how to feel.”
Lindsey Jordan aka Snail Mail throws her 2nd album,
titled Valentineat the world on 5th November.
Jordan: “I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to
make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all.
Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I
have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine is
my child!”
Here comes Jordan‘s macabre side. Only for cannibals

Another rockin’ taster from Turner‘s upcoming
full-length FTHC, out 22 February 2022.
Turner: “It’s been a difficult time for a lot of people and their
mental health, myself included, and discussing that openly is
important to me, so this is a song about anxiety and the
struggles that come with that.”
This side project of former Sonic Youth queen Kim Gordon and
avant-garde guitarist Bill Nace will release its second LP in November.
The duo teamed up with Aaron Dilloway for this one.
