Frank Turner to play HMV in-stores

Frank Turner visits hmv to perform live and sign copies of his new album 'Positive Songs For Negative People'.

Frank Turner releases his sixth album 'Positive Songs For Negative People', the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2013's critically-acclaimed 'Tape Deck Heart'. Produced by Butch Walker (Fall Out Boy, Weezer) in Nashville and recorded as live, the album was made with Frank's trusted backing band The Sleeping Souls. Like much of Turner's work, 'Positive Songs For Negative People' takes life's big issues - triumphing over the darkest adversities - and places them inside a mix of beguiling, intricate vignettes and sweeping anthems.

"I feel like this record is my definitive statement, a summation of the first five records," says Turner. "When a band makes a debut record, there's a freshness and excitement to it that bands often lose as time goes by. I wanted to try and make a record with that young, exciting feel."

Frank Turner has announced an extensive UK tour, which begins on November 5th at Llandudnos Venue Cymru Arena and ends at London's Alexandra Palace on November 26th.

'Positive Songs For Negative People' is released on Friday 7th August as part of the recently launched global release day, New Music Fridays.
