ALBUM REVIEW: Frank Turner – Undefeated

Xtra Mile Recordings

Released: 03.05.24

This is Frank Turner’s tenth solo album and one which sees him on typically fine form, hopping around a variety of genres whilst retaining his signature style. No Thank You For The Music, Do One and The Leaders are all excellent examples of Frank at his angry best. However, it is Somewhere Inbetween’s darker tone that really brings the track to life, which compounds the anger that characterises the majority of Undefeated.

Despite its undeniable melancholy, the themes of being grateful, Turner’s pride in his achievements and his gritty determination fuel the end of the record in style, with the hope-filled crescendo title track, which builds from its delicate opening to a bombastic end. Another brilliant record from Frank Turner.
