It's going to be a British invasion of sorts.

Singer-songwriter Frank Turner has had an extraordinary two-years in his native England. Considered the people's punk poet, Turner he has amassed a huge and adoring fan base, breakthrough radio hits and a sold out headlining show at Wembley Arena (documented in a thrilling new DVD). It all reached a crescendo with a historic performance at the biggest show on earth, the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.

It's now time for him to break in the States and his new release, Last Minutes and Lost Evenings, which drops Oct. 2, should help Turner do just that. He delivers 15 songs, a riveting mix of standards and rarities hand-picked by Turner to get American fans off on the right foot. Come on, people! Don't snooze on this.

Bundled with a full DVD of his groundbreaking Wembley show – almost two hours of music, with plenty of rousing sing-alongs and folk-punk fury from Frank's amazing band The Sleeping Souls – Last Minutes and Lost Evenings is a record longtime fans will cherish. For stateside fans just hearing of Frank Turner, it's an ideal introduction.
