Frank Turner's latest release has just recently been lauded by this very site and rightly so as it's a captivating album that serves to enhance the growing reputation of the troubadour-esque Turner. The single release of the same name 'Poetry Of The Deed' channels the spirit of Robert Smith and The Cure at their poppy finest into a track that overflows with Turner's eloquence "Life is to short to live without poetry/If you've got soul darling now come on and show it me".

Opening with some Weller-lite guitar licks that morph into something resembling New Order strangely whilst Turner lilts over the top about being a "Poet Of The Deed" and whatever that may be I'm inclined to believe him as he weaves lyrical nods to modern life in Britain. 'Poetry Of The Deed' evokes an upwelling inside of some sort of misplaced patriotism to a country that does not exist but that Turner envisages where we are all free to speak out minds and be our very own Poets.



Frank Turner is already there he's just waiting for the rest of us to join him and more importantly waiting for the country itself to wake up and join the band.
