Frank Turner Announces New Single 'If Ever I Stray'

Hot on the heels of his Main Stage appearance at Reading and Leeds Festival this August, Frank Turner will release his rabble rousing anthem, ‘If Ever I Stray’ on 29th August.
Speaking about the new song, Frank says. “'If Ever I Stray' was one of the last songs written for the album and it came together really fast, as the best songs do; it's a song about realising that you're not an island, and that you should be grateful for the help you get in life.”
And with the catchy refrain; “But if ever I stray from the path I follow. Take me down to the English Channel. Throw me in where the water is shallow, and drag me on back to shore”. We think you'll be singing this for the rest of the Summer!
‘If Ever I Stray’ – backed by brand new song ‘Sailor’s Boots’ - is the second single to be lifted from the album ‘England Keep My Bones’ which came out earlier this year in June.
After a truck load of festival appearances this summer that include Cambridge Folk Festival, Port Eliot, Kendal Calling, Mannifest and a host of European festivals, and his largest full band tour in USA in the Autumn, Frank Turner will return to the UK to play a huge tour this winter. Aside from the festivals this will be the first time fans can see the full-band show since their sold out O2 Academy Brixton gig in December 2010.
