Frank Turner has shared a new rendition of "Show People," a song off this year's Undefeated. The new take features Ben Stewart of Australian band Slowly Slowly, alternating verses.

Slowly Slowly namedropped Turner in their song "Turn It Around" (on Daisy Chain), which lead to a correspondence and, ultimately, collaboration between the artists.

“I have been a monstrous Frank Turner fan for so many years - after name checking him," Stewart explains, "Frank reached out and then it has snowballed into me featuring on one his new tracks. Absolutely ecstatic to be able to call him a friend and so happy with how it all turned out - the song has a message I can really relate to. I hope we get to perform it live soon!"

Turner will be on tour in Australia next month, including at Good Things festival. Slowly Slowly will be on tour in April with Honey  Revenge and Grayscale.
