Community Records

After their tour of the UK with the amazing 'Fatter Than Albert' the guys from Community Records got in touch to say hello. As a result we swapped some stock and now have some great releases from across the pond to sell. Community Records, if you don't already know, are a great D.I.Y label based in the USA. Be sure to check out their website - http://www.communityrecords.org/ - which also has loads of great FREE downloads. What more could you want?

Anyway, we now have the following releases in stock in the TNS distro. You can pick any of the releases for just £5 each or two for £8, including postage. As the webstore is currently being revamped (will be back in the new year), please send any payments via paypal to tnsrecordsuk@hotmail.co.uk with your address. Be quick as we only have a small amount of each.

A Billion Ernies - Dumpster Generation (CD)
Pericles - Citizens War (CD)
Stuck Lucky - Possom Soul (CD)
A Billion Ernies - Informant 10"
Fatter Than Albert - The Last Minute 12"
Maddie Ruthless - The Secret Affair 10"


Want the lot? Get in touch and we will put a deal together. If you're in America and want to get hold of some TNSrecords stuff on the cheap, head over to the Community Records site and check it out.

It's Booze Time



Over the weekend Revenge of the Psychotronic Man were in the studio to record 6 tracks for an international split that we will be releasing around April next year.

Tim G (Big Tone Recordings) had the pleasure of putting up with Revenge of... for two days, listening to the rough mixes it sounds like he did a great job.

If you have seen Revenge of... play over the last few months you would have heard most of the tracks recorded, although there are a couple that will be new to you. It might not sound believable but I think this EP is even faster than the album, 6 tracks are over and done with in under 7mins 25 secs. The track listing is:

1. Drinking in the Van
2. Not My Fight
3. It's Booze Time
4. A Political Hot Potato
5. D.I.Why?
6. The End of Everything

I think there must have been a worlds first at Big Tone this weekend: the gang vocals on 'The End of Everything' were recorded in human pyramid formation! Davey Psychotronic was up from the big smoke to record some video footage over the weekend so we should hopefully see that in the near future with some samples from the EP. We will also probably make 'A Political Hot Potato' available for a free download once Tim has finished with the mastering. So look out for that.

If you weren't already aware, these tracks are going to feature on an international split EP alongside 5feetunder Records from Denmark and Stikman Records from the US. It will also feature the Mighty Midgets (Denmark) , Fist of the North Star (USA) and the Broken Aris (Sweden).

Andy and Niels (Mighty Midgets) are working together on the artwork, which should produce something very interesting. Each of the bands/labels have a similar DIY ethics and we all feel it is a really good way of helping great bands be heard further a field. It's a real pleasure to be working with a group of like minded labels and bands.
