Frank Turner Launches New Band

Enter... Mongol Horde

Frank Turner has posted a video containing material from his new project Mongol Horde.

Way back before he became a politically motivated acoustic strummer, Frank Turner was a bit of a punk hero. Leading Million Dead, he re-tooled Hardcore for a British audience and laid siege to the nation’s live music venue.

Earlier this year, Frank Turner revealed plans to start a new band. Sessions for Mongol Horde have been stretching across the summer, with the songwriter seemingly planning a return to heavier material.

At the weekend, Mongol Horde posted a new video online which contains the first signs of their sound. (via The Quietus)

Seemingly shot using iPhones strapped for their head, the clip is typically rough ‘n’ ready. Musically, ‘Casual Threats From Weekend Hardmen’ is a furious piece of Hardcore – almost brutally short, it features Frank Turner in full on ranting mode.
