I don't think he's all that popular here in Canada. I've been going to HMV remembering to look for Frank Turner albums, but they never have them. It's nice to know that they actually do have Frank Turner albums kicking about, but maybe it's just in the bigger cities. I couldn't find them in West Edmonton Mall though, 3rd biggest mall in the world.

still loving it, and the love grows bigger every day, it's been a long, long fucking time since I've been listening to an album by any of the new artists as much as I do listen to England Keep My Bones, it's fucking awesome and it makes me happy !
Does he ever tour in Europe? (Except for England, cause I don't feel like paying for a plane)
I wanna attend to his show very much !!!

He always does a bunch of European festivals in the summer. He played Download Festival a few days ago and I've read somewhere he's touring in support of Social Distortion during the whole summer on their European tour, as well as doing Reading and Leeds. He's also playing in Croatia this summer so I think that's close to you.

Vienna would be the best destination for me, and it is fucking sold out ! but it's gonna happen in a week, so I probably wouldn't make it anyway ... but there is a free show in a town in Austria called Graz, the show is free ... but I kinda like to pay for an artist who deserves it ... If only I'd found out about the Vienna show before it sold out, I wouldn't miss that one for the world ! I'd go to Graz, but it's exactly the one and only day in this month that I have some other business to do ...
the other towns are like 20 hours of traveling, I mean, I would go if it wasn't all so soon, I should've started thinking about this much sooner !
I'm pissed off, the show in Vienna would be so rad, and if I'm not gonna make it to any of his shows near my country, than I will probably have to wait till next summer ... sucks ass

Isn't Croatia really close to Slovakia? I thought it'll be the best date for you to see him.

Man, One Foot Before the Other has this Muse vibe going on with it. It's pretty sweet. Does anyone else feel the same way?

if it's the same song I'm thinking of, I kind of get a Million Dead (his old band) vibe to it! I love it!

well, Vienna is like 1 hour of traveling, and Zagreb is like 8 ;) but I'm thinking about it, but I kind of don't wanna go there alone, and nobody here really knows Frank Turner, so it would mean a fucking 8 hours train drive, than taking a bus to the town I need to get in, and shit like that, and alone as fuck, cause I doubt I'll find someone here who knows him and is actually willing to pay for the distances to get there
but as I said, I am, and maybe I will say fuck to the world and make the trip totally by myself, it wouldn't be the first time
it's really fucked up that the Vienna show is sold out
Jeremy : it's my favorite song off of the album !

i bought Love Ire and Song as well as Poetry of the Deed from them no too long ago, but they were some the last copies on the shelves.
anyways i STILL haven't gotten a call from fucking HMV.
fucking twats.
that's it, i'm downloading this album.

Fuck. GREAT fucking album.
the only song i skip is glory hallelujah. i find it too cynical and i don't necessarily agree with the lyrical content.
anyone else get reminded of "to take you home" when listening to "Wessex Boy" ?

well, it's his opinion about God, and the opinion is probably right, there is like thousands of singers singing about God this way, the most famous one being John Lennon himself ;)
and there is no doubt that Christians give away reasons to sing songs like this
btw: the best lyrics on the album are I Still Believe and definitely If I Ever Stray, or English Curse, and Glory Hallelujah too, but this album is really good lyrically, I like it a lot

listened to it while going out of town, I love him.
I actually really enjoy some acapella stuff, so quite enjoy English Curse.

I see what you mean about Glory Hallelujah, when I first heard it I thought it was a bold song to write/release and some people would not agree with it.

well, and isn't that one of the most significant signs of rock 'n roll music? to write songs that you truly feel and believe in, instead of songs that people wanna hear, there is pop music for that, they can sing ''I love you'' the same way for as long as it takes and people are still dumb enough to like it
while listening to music, I wanna hear the given person's opinions, no matter what they are, try honesty ;)
and also, aren't Christians supposed to understand, forgive and all that stuff ? I believe it's in the sacred book
