Frank Turner
Francis Edward "Frank" Turner (born 1981-10-28) is an English singer-songwriter from Meonstoke, Hampshire. Turner's first professional band was as the lead vocalist for post-hardcore group Million Dead. After the band broke up, Turner began a sort of folk punk solo career playing mostly-acoustic songs. Through his career, he has occasionally released album with other artists. As a folk punk artist, many of Turner's songs are about politics and the freedom to enjoy life, but also the results of excess.

Personal
I discovered Frank Turner around 2012 while searching for songs that were anti-religious and found a video of him performing Glory Hallelujah live. I liked the song, so I found the album it was released on, England Keep My Bones which I really loved. I bought the album and downloaded his previous albums and enjoyed them as well. Around 2013-2014, I saw Frank Turner in concert and bought Love Ire & Song, Poetry of the Deed, and Tape Deck Heart. Unfortunately, I haven't kept up with his new stuff.
