Song of the Week: "I still Believe" by Frank Turner.


"Now who'd have thought, that after all, something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save them all"

Ah Frank Turner. I've only known you for a year, but what a time we've had... I first paid attention to Frank at Reading festival last year, where although I only vaguely knew a couple of songs I found myself jumping around and at times tearing up (thanks for that "Substitute") along with the rest of them. He's absolutely fantastic live, and he's one of those acts that you can enjoy regardless of how well you know his music. I was literally bouncing on my sofa when I saw him come on at the Olympics Ceremony, and I hope  that he does well from it. It's the kind of anti-folk that everyone should have on their ipod, and it is my firm belief that there is a Frank Turner song out there for everyone that neatly encapsulates their life. Mine is Substitute, for a friend of mine it's "Once we were Anarchists". Go forth my friends and find your Frank Turner song NOW!
