Frank TurnerFrank Turner today confirmed his fourth album is called 'England Keep My Bones' and will be released on June 06 on Xtra Mile Recordings. The title's a quote from Shakespeare, don't you know?

We went into the studio with Frank a couple of weeks ago to make sure he was sticking to the straight and narrow and, y'know, not going shit or anything. Thankfully, the opposite has happened: 'England Keep My Bones' is shaping up to be a quite delightful record that's appreciably different to everything he's done before but still unmistakably Frank.

What's more, he's doing a run of dates in smaller venues just him and his guitar. There'll be a full-band tour later in the year but for now we're looking forward to packing ourselves into tiny venues and having a bit of a sing; having said that, if you hanker for a bit of big-stage Frank then he's confirmed on his website that he's headlining the third stage at Download on the Sunday night.
