<\/a><\/p>\nSplit Works is more than excited to announce that accomplished singer\/songwriter Frank Turner and his band The Sleeping Souls will perform in China at the 5th<\/sup> edition of the JUE Music + Art Festival. His visit in 2013 will mark Turner\u2019s second time, after his phenomenal first tour in March of 2010.<\/p>\n Turner as a musician has experienced vast amounts depth and change in his short, yet accomplished, career. In the early 2000\u2019s, he started to gain recognition as the lead singer of the English post-hardcore outfit Million Dead. Although short lived, Million Dead helped propel Turner the recognition of the punk music community, and critics took note of the passionate resonance and fury with which he sings. This passion was soon expressed in his solo recordings. In a short span of 5 years, Turner has released 4 full-length albums, 3 EPs, and 2 albums of compilations and rarities as a solo artist.<\/p>\n His most recent album, England Keep My Bones<\/em>, is his most commercially and critically successful to date, and a true testament to Turner\u2019s abilities as a songwriter. An album that explores the concept of English identity, Turner\u2019s lyrics reach a very personal and emotive level, but maintains the raucous punk aesthetic from which he is rooted. The album was on many critics\u2019 top album lists of 2011, including Paste Magazine and NME. It eventually led to a near completely sold out tour of the UK, including a packed house at Wembley Arena.<\/p>\nFrank Turner and The sleeping souls-Four Simple Words<\/h2>\n
