Increasingly popular folk hero Frank Turner has a new video on the cards. Directed by Jamie Lenman, the track is taken from his 2008 album Love, Ire & Song.

Turner, former front-man with hardcore legends Million Dead, has garnered himself much acclaim with his turn to the lighter side of musical composition coupled with lyricism which is no less scathing on society or bitingly humourous in its delivery. The compilation Frank Turner: The First Three Years which collects together rare material from his initial triad of solo annums is also currently available for purchase.

Reasons Not To Be An Idiot sees Turner dealing with the pseudo-lifestyles many of us busy ourselves with in an attempt to shield ourselves from the highs and lows of life. "So why are you sat at home? You're not designed to be alone/You just got used to saying 'no'. So get up and get down and get outside" - Katrina and the Waves for the disenchanted then!
