Frank Turner envisions the first concerts after Covid-19 lockdown on his new song, “The Gathering,” featuring Jason Isbell and Muse drummer Dom Howard.
Considering its subject matter, “The Gathering” is appropriately arena-sized from the start as Turner bellows over booming drums and towering glam rock riffs: “The first time that the beat drops in the bar, it’s going to be biblical!/The second that the singalong starts, it’ll be sensational!” The track (which was produced by Rich Costey) ends with Isbell unleashing the mightiest guitar solo he can muster.
In a statement, Turner said of “The Gathering,” which marks his first new music in two years, “It’s about that moment when you come together in a room full of people, and you lean on a stranger and sing along with the chorus and get the words wrong.”
Along with releasing “The Gathering,” Turner announced a string of outdoor shows in the United Kingdom this summer. The shows will essentially be one-day festivals with Turner headlining and support coming from artists on the Xtra Mile Recordings roster, including Skinny Lister, Johnny Lloyd, Pet Needs, Ducking Punches, Non Canon, Deux Furieuses, Berries, Guise, and Semantics. Lineups will vary across the dates, and the shows will adapt to either allow for socially distanced attendance or full capacity, depending on Covid-19 safety regulations at the time. A full list of dates is available on Turner’s website, where tickets will also go on sale Friday, May 7th.
NLE Choppa fires back at NBA Ben 10 and the mothers of his children on the confrontational new track “Set The Record Straight,” delivering a tense, aggressive performance. On the song, he confronts rumors about his sexuality pushed by his children’s mothers and responds to claims that he has been absent as a father. Set against a stark piano loop and a gritty trap backdrop, Choppa unloads on critics and rivals, keeping his cadence controlled before switching into quicker bursts. While the approach does not break new ground for him, it should land well with listeners who ride for his style. Alongside “Set The Record Straight,” Choppa also released "Shotta Flow 8."

If I pull my strap and you pull a phone out then you p***y,
Harris County Jail almost had me in central booking,
Call a spade for a spade, you need insurance for police,
Crackin' 4's with this K, I told Lil Trey, ''Pass me my ski''
We can dirty up, I'm in the field cleated up,
I'm back and I'on give a f**k, bounced out the car and said, ''What up?''
Dead beat, who? Me and my kids super glue,
We got h*es tryna be mamas, that's the problem, damn fool
