Over the years, the marriage of punk and folk has produced such notable offspring as The Pogues, Billy Bragg and Flogging Molly. The latest up-and-comer to join these venerable ranks is UK folk-punk hero Frank Turner.
Following the breakup of his post-hardcore band Million Dead, Frank launched his solo career. His astounding live shows – including support gigs for Biffy Clyro and The Gaslight Anthem, as well as an epic sing-along at the 2008 Reading and Leeds Festival – caught the attention of Radio 1 DJ Steve Lamacq, who helped to spread the Frank Turner gospel to a wider audience.
It wasn’t long before Grammy-nominated producer Alex Newport got in touch, asking to work with Frank on his 3rd studio album, 2009’s Poetry of the Deed. Newport, known for his work with At the Drive-in and Death Cab for Cutie, helped to fashion an album full of cross-over appeal to hardcore punks and folksters alike.

如果说Tom Waits是朋克和民谣混搭的鼻祖，应该不为过。在朋克圈里，Tom Waits所在厂牌Anti的姐妹厂牌Epitaph应该也是无人不晓。来自英国的民谣/朋克歌手Frank Turner用他的民谣创作和朋克激情引起了英国媒体、广大歌迷的兴趣，更唤起了美国朋克乐队、乃至著名厂牌的注意。在英国，他的单曲屡屡登上BBC Radio1、XFM等电台甚至iTunes榜单，在Reading and Leeds、Glastonbury音乐节上引爆歌迷大合唱；在美国，来自著名Ska朋克乐队Less Than Jake的Vinnie想出版他的合辑，Tim Barry想邀请他参加欧洲巡演，Epitaph的CEO、Bad Religion的传奇吉他手Brett Gurewitz决定签下他……一切辉煌仿佛只是开始，让我们期待这位箱琴胡子男为我们上演的好戏。
