Frank Turner

[jobotic]

I Didn't Ask To Be Born (into wealth)

[purlieu]

more broadly I hate nearly all of the Xtra Mile roster like Get Cape Wear Cape, Oxygen Thief, Beans on Toast.

Reuben and Million Dead were the only decent acts on the label.

Million Dead were interesting because their guitarist put jazz chords in.

The first album has no songs with verse/chorus structures, but remains relatively accessible and catchy (Turner put some great melodies to Cameron Dean's chords, to be fair), which is something I've always enjoyed about it. It's just unfortunate that it's full of Turner's lyrics about how the BFG and Enid Blyton are dangers to society rather than, y'know, his own fucking family.
