Rough around the edges punk is what we can expect from Frank Turner‘s next studio record, the songwriter has told BBC 6Music.

“I want to make a really rough-around-the-edges punk rock record, so we’re not going to take very long in recording it,” he said. “I want to just hammer it out, me and The Sleeping Souls. I want it to sound fresh and raw and hungry.”

“I had some crises of confidence about material and about who I was recording it with and where. I feel like I’m at a point in my career where I can afford to make sure that it’s absolutely the right record that it needs to be, rather than just doing what I’ve done every other time, which is just go, ‘Sure, just put it out!’.”

Turner’s last full length effort, ‘Tape Deck Heart‘, was released in the April of 2013 and peaked at an impressive #2 on the UK Album Chart.
