In a blog post, Frank Turner announced plans to release a new EP titled Rock & Roll. Due out December 6, 2010 via Xtra Mile Recordings, the EP was recorded in September. Frank promises five new songs and notes:

I, for one, am very excited about it; it's kind of a taster for the new album (although only one song from the EP will also be on the new record) which is due early next year. The EP is being released in the UK, but we're sorting out shipping details for everywhere across the world so people in the USA, Europe and further afield can get a copy too. It feels good to be getting new material out there.

Frank released his Epitaph Records debut, Poetry of the Deed in 2009. Xtra Mile released his previous album, 2008's Love, Ire and Song.
