Frank Turner records first batch of demos for next album

Despite a busy 2012 including a sold-out Wembley Arena show with Billy Bragg, a Fall US tour and even an appearance at The Fest XI, Frank Turner is already 15 (demo recordings of) songs into his follow up to 2011's England Keep My Bones. Turner, who is aiming for a January 2013 release through Epitaph Records said this:

15 [full band songs with The Sleeping Souls down, [and] four solo numbers, and that's a session! [We are] mixing demos in the studio in Oxford. It's such a joy to hear these songs coming out the speakers sounding how I hoped they would.

Turner also recently confirmed that his upcoming UK tour would feature support from Tim Barry and Jim Lockey & The Solemn Sun as well as feature his band, The Sleeping Souls.
