Frank Turner has announced his new album ‘Undefeated’ and released a new single, ‘Do One’ – listen to it below.The album, which will be released on May 3, is Turner’s first album back working with an independent label alongside Xtra Mile Recordings.

It will be the veteran rocker’s tenth solo album – pre-save/pre-order here.“There are no clichés about the difficult 10th album, so in some ways, that’s a liberating statement,” Turner said about the forthcoming record. “But 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.”Today, he also released his new single ‘Do One’, a liberating anthem which sees Turner declare: “I’m still standing up and there’s nothing you can do”. “‘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,” he said about the single.“So 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.” Take a listen below:1. ‘Do One’2. ‘Never Mind The Back Problems’3. ‘Ceasefire’4. ‘Girl From The Record Shop’5. ‘Pandemic PTSD’6. ‘Letters’7. ‘East Finchley’8. ‘No Thank You For The Music’9. ‘The Leaders’10. ‘International Hide and Seek Champions’11. ‘Show People’12. ‘On My Way’13. ‘Somewhere Inbetween’14. ‘Undefeated’Turner last released music with 2022’s ‘FTHC’, an album which saw him gain.
