Frank Turner, Jon Snodrass Share Bleakly Humorous 'The Fleas'

A full album is incoming...

*Frank Turner* and *Jon Snodgrass* are - on the surface, at least - a somewhat unlikely creative coupling.

One is a songwriter with a deeply British outlook, while the other is force of nature in America, treading a quite different type of stage.

Somehow, though, it works perfectly. New album 'Buddies II: Still Buddies' is out on November 13th, and you can pre-order it *HERE.*

We're able to share new song 'The Fleas', and its bleakly humorous appeal is perfect for 2020's ongoing dystopia.

The lyric uses an observation from the late George Carlin as a leaping off point, with the comedian having commented that Earth would one day shake humans off like a “bad case of the fleas”.

Together, Frank Turner and Jon Snodrass take this one step further, and it results in something uniquely engaging.

Jon comments: “While we were writing this record, my dog Carlos was at my feet scratching himself. It reminded me of a great George Carlin bit, about how the world would end up shaking us off like a Bad Case Of The Fleas.”

Frank Turner adds: “When Jon and I write quick songs together as Buddies, sometimes they can be pretty frivolous, given the time constraints. But sometimes we stumble across something a little more serious, like in “The Fleas”. I really like this song.”
