In a follow-up to their collaborative 2011 album Buddies, Frank Turner and Jon Snodgrass have teamed up for Buddies II: Still Buddies, out on Nov. 13 on vinyl, CD, and digital formats via Xtra Mile Recordings.

Check out a video to "The Fleas," shared below, from the upcoming release.

Both Buddies and Buddies II were written in one-day sessions, though done over the internet in 2020. The album was later flushed out with help from friends: Stephen Egerton (Descendents/ALL) on drums and Todd Beene (Lucero, Chuck Ragan, Glossary) on pedal steel.
