Undefeated (CD)
Frank Turner
Amoeba Review
Frank Turner's Undefeated is easy to love, a punk album that deftly blends genres and will leave you with a smile on your face. "Girl from the Record Shop" feels like a slice of punk-meets-new-wave heaven: it's funny, relatable, and feels like it came directly from one of those '80s 7-inches that gets rediscovered and passed around in awe. "Letters" is insistent, heartbreaking power pop with a crescendoing pop-punk chorus (emphasis on the "punk"). "Do One" is defiant yet ultra catchy thanks to its anthemic pop-punk chorus (emphasis on the sunshiney old school "pop"). It's true...Turner's songwriting is, just like this album's title, undefeated.
