This week on In Defense of Ska, Frank Turner joins in to discuss growing up with UK skacore, finding a balance between his punkier and folkier tendencies, and his new album Undefeated. Listen above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The English artist joins the In Defense of Ska crew to chat about his presence in both punk circles and singer-songwriter circles. He also, of course, gives his take on ska — and as it turns out, he has quite a lot of thoughts on the genre! He details what it was like going to skacore shows in the 2000s, his experience touring with Interrupters, and NOFX covering his song “Thatcher Fucks the Kids.” Elsewhere, Turner dives into his new album Undefeated, loving Converge, and the worst shows he’s ever played.
