![]() frank 17 January 2007 Ex- Million Dead front man Frank Turner will be playing Pulp Promotions night at Moles on February 8th with support (and backing) from Dive Dive and London singer/songwriter Beans on Toast (also playing the Porter Cellar Bar this Thursday (18th Jan). With the release of Franks first solo album various parts of the music press have decided to review it, we just wanted to share with you the 7/10 review that the NME gave the album this week...enjoy: "Frank Turner - Sleep is for The Week (Xtra Mile) As singer in late, great, London-Australia hardcore hybrid Million Dead, Frank Turner proved himself to be a voice of truth and vitality within a scene of haircuts and empty posturing. Now that the band has broken up, he's doing much the same thing within the scruffy confines of the folk circuit, and debut album proper, 'Sleep is for the Week' manages to harness the fury of punk rock to the introspective strum of prime-era Billy Bragg. In lead-off single 'Vital Signs', Turner has penned the kind of song that pulses with both integrity and romance, while the whole record is evidence of this premise: you may well take the punk rocker out of punk rock, but on this evidence, you'd struggle to take the punk rock out of the punk rocker.
