 <\/p>\n

\u2018You can\u2019t just sit around wondering if you\u2019ve made your Nevermind \u2013 because that was three albums ago\u2019, Frank Turner. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018God damn it\u2019s great to be alive\u2019, Frank Turner roars on Demons, a standout track on his sixth album, Positive Songs for Negative People.<\/p>\n

When I ask him how on earth he\u2019s managed to make six albums, he admits he doesn\u2019t really know. \u201cIt\u2019s quite rare for a band to get round to a sixth album at all,\u201d he says, \u201cand it\u2019s particularly odd to get to a sixth album, and at least to some people, still be on the up side of the graph.\u201d<\/p>\n

This continued rise in stock is largely down to almost constant touring, documented in his recent book The Road Beneath My Feet, spending weeks on trains and beer-soaked sofas and picking up thousands of devoted fans along the way.<\/p>\n
