Frank Turner



Frank Turner is a singer/songwriter from Winchester, UK. While originally part of a post-hardcore band called Million Dead, he then went solo playing folk/punk songs with his acoustic guitar.

He was born in Bahrain.

Tropes:

 * Bad Bad Acting: Murder On The Tour Bus Express, probably intentional though.
 * Growing Up Sucks: "Photosynthesis"
 * "All my friends are getting married, mortgages and pension plans."
 * It gets worse, his latest album, England Keep My Bones expands this by being focused in many songs on the realization that he will soon die.
 * Hollywood Atheist: Averted with Glory Hallelujah which is a song about how there isn't a God so we can just focus on working hard and being happy.
 * Lyrical Dissonance: The upbeat song "Heartless Bastard Motherfucker"
 * Margaret Thatcher: "Thatcher Fucked The Kids"
 * Old Shame: Turner's political opinions have changed a fair bit over time, making "Thatcher Fucked The Kids" this.
