Frank Turner - The Hardcore Years (Parade of Grafters - Ep 12)

He's mentioned his past in Hardcore bands fleetingly, but Frank Turner's never gone DEEP on the subject. So that's exactly what we did.
We knew each other in the late 90s when we were both falling in love with the Hardcore-Punk thing as teenagers, and have stayed in contact over his incredible journey so far, so I felt in as good a place as anyone to tackle this subject with him.
Hope you enjoy the chat, and be sure to check out the bands we talk on. Many won't have stuff on Spotify, but if you give Bandcamp and UA-cam a look you'll usually find something

This is so nice to watch. Cheers for doing this, the both of you. I remember Frank telling me once that he knew what he wanted to do for a living and that was music. Totally respect the hustle as I know it wasn't an easy road. DIY or die

@@robertcrane910 Heck Yes, Breezeblock! That gig you guys played at The Crown with Convinced was easily one of the best gigs I've ever been to!
