Dark, brooding pop music is what I suppose you could call this album. Easily my #1 active musician. Aside from her great song writing, she pretty much epitomizes all that a live performance should be. Too many bands forget that a live show is a performance and not just an opportunity to sell t-shirts.

Indie-pop. Her full length comes out Feb '09 and she'll probably blow up. Very catchy.

Part pop, part My Bloody Valentine. Right behind Shannon Wright for my favorite active singer/song writer. She definitely deserves more recognition than she's gotten over the course of her 3 full lengths.

Irish folk-pop. I can't stop listening to the first track.

Some compare him to Billy Bragg, and I see that. Photosynthesis, To Take You Home, A Love Worth Keeping are all really, really good tracks.

Classic album. Little Time Bomb is one of my top 10 songs of all time.
Workers Playtime is one of my most favorite albums ever. I sort of remember Frank Turner -- did he release albums in the 80s as well? I recall him as Billy Braggy... if he's the person I'm recalling.
