Frank Turner announces new album Undefeated and shares new single

British folk-punk Frank Turner has announced his tenth album, Undefeated, out May 3, 2024. Accompanying the news is the release of his latest track ‘Do One’.

“‘Do One’ is the last song I wrote for the new album, and the first song on that album, as well as the first single,” said Turner.

“It’s a summation of what I’m trying to say with this record, a record about survival and defiance, but also one with a sense of fun and self-deprecation. 19 years into my solo career, I’m still standing up and putting out some of my best work. It feels good.”

Recorded alongside his live band at his home studio, Undefeated follows Turner’s first UK No.1 album, 2022’s FTHC, and is the result of his decision to step away from major labels to work as an independent artist.

“There are no clichés about the difficult 10th album, so in some ways, that's a liberating statement,” he said of the record. “At the same time, I have a duty to justify writing and releasing a 10th album. That's a lot of records for anybody.

“Also, I’m 42. Which is not a sexy, rock’n’roll age. But all through my career, I've been interested in writers like Loudon Wainwright III or The Hold Steady, people who write about adulthood, essentially.”

While dates are yet to be announced, a press release hinted at potential upcoming shows “with even bigger ambitions that will be revealed in due course as he nears his 3000th gig.”
