Frank Turner's style is similar to Billy Bragg�s, and other musicians that have a background in punk rock. He shouts out what he thinks, and in an effortless style he doesn�t make a mess of it. Sure, some words don�t have to rhyme but the way Frank delivers it makes it sound perfect. �Live Fast Die Old� is the first track on the new album and it�s a re-phrase of that classic punk song �Live Fast Die Young.� Unlike Frank�s previous albums, this time he records with a full band instead of doing everything himself (except drums and pianos). On most tracks, mandolin, piano, harmonica, organ, drums and bass accompany Frank with his guitar. I believe for the most part Frank Turner just plays by himself at his live shows, but I could be mistaken. The strip down folk punk style would be fitting to hear live but I�d love to hear the full band at a show too!

I didn�t really know of Frank Turner until I heard he was coming out with an album on Epitaph. I�ll be honest; it�s been quite a while since I last loved an album on the label. I think if they continue to sign musicians like Frank Turner, they will get back on track with being a premier punk label. But let�s get back to Frank shall we? The song that got me hooked was his newest single �The Road.� The song just sounded very powerful, catchy and something I could see an entire venue singing along to frantically. His style isn�t all shouting, he actually can sing like on tracks �Fastest Way Back Home,� �Faithful Son� and �Journey Of The Magi.� �Sons of Liberty� could be my favorite track after �The Road.� I love the subtle piano notes after each verse. The fiddle playing on the track reminds me of the UK folk rockers The Levellers, which I believe Turner is a fan of, Well everyone should be a fan of them but that�s neither here nor there.
