A Review of Frank Turner's New Album, Tape Deck Heart

Smells Like Teen Spirit




Here is a short review Dom and I (with the help of Jez) wrote one night.

Frank Turner’s use of Nirvana’s immortal line in his new album is more than a homage to 90s grunge; it is symptomatic of a theme coursing through the veins of his Tape Deck Heart: adolescence.  The work is an uncharacteristically profound exploration of  heart-break and bitterness, laced with disillusionment and cynicism.  And it’s delicious.
