Ten years ago, the two acclaimed musicians hung out, drank whisky and wrote & recorded an album together called ‘Buddies’ – a lighthearted hang between friends that became a hit with fans of both artists. Fast forward a decade and the pair are still buddies, so they decided to write a follow-up.

As with the original, ‘Buddies II: Still Buddies’ was written in just one day, although this time, however, Turner and Snodgrass had to do it over the Internet due to Lockdown. With more time on their hands than frank turner and jon snodgrass usual, they were able to flesh out the album, musically, and recruit other buddies – Stephen Egerton (Descendents/ALL) on Drums and Todd Beene (Lucero, Chuck Ragan, Glossary) on pedal steel – for added instrumentation.

The result is a funny, warm and at times poignant album that’s part talk show, part music.

Jon Snodgrass says: ”’Buddies II’ was somehow even more fun to make. It even sounds better too! Frank mixed it & we enlisted Todd Beene & Stephen Egerton. So yeah, 2 more buddies. It’s twice as good. I can’t wait until 2030! It’s gonna be three times better & we’re gonna do it at sea!!.”
