We also have some very exciting TNS t shirts, which are going to be available at the weekend. I won't say too much, but they are beautiful and are endorsed by a certain local hero!

I do indeed endorse them

TNS is not a franchise... honest!

We know - it's a clique

[Kristoff_Ska]

I will be at TNSBlackpool, and will hope to be able to purchase a TNS shirt then!

[veganfishcake]

Hurray! Good news is good.

[Mikey Wong]

The tshirts are immense. May get the dinosaur one tonight!

EDIT - someone bought it :0(

[Andy Psychotronic]

Fanzine is now in local shops. I will drop some in retro later and take some to urbis on Sat and the gig on Thurs.

[veganfishcake]

Send some fanzines off to Action Records too, I'm sure they'll be glad to give them out. Or give some to me to put in Action Records next time I'm in Preston.

[Andy Psychotronic]

Nice one Jake!

the BIG news is:

The Harijan/JPS split ep will be arriving a week today.
If you want pre-orders they will be available on the TNSmyspace as of tomorrow!

[Mikey Wong]

Nicely ready for TNS, good call! :0)

[veganfishcake]

I'm bringing some Blackpool people with me

[Andy Psychotronic]

UPDATE:
The Harijan/JPS split will be available from Harijan at the Attic on Thurs 4th Sept and from the distro online, or at TNS (retro bar) on Sun 7th Sept.

We are also going to be doing what we can to help STAND OUT RIOT with their album.
That means we'll be getting it stocked in all the stores currently stocking TNSreleases, we'll be flogging it through the distro and that you can expect a big feature on the band in the next issue of TNS.
It promises to be an awesome album so make sure you support a great local band!

You should try to get your proper releases up for download on iTunes. Just a suggestion. Oh and Amazon would be a good idea too! I think they'd be happy to sell TNS Cds.

[Andy Psychotronic]

Do you know how to do that?
Not sure about itunes tbh because I hate music downloading, but maybe it's silly not too.
Def amazon though

[veganfishcake]

Not quite sure but just looking at other indie record labels and they have links to where you can but it from Amazon and HMV websites.

Maybe: http://advantage.ama...dor/public/join
and maybe: http://www.tradedoub...rogram_id=18710 for HMV.

[Andy Psychotronic]

Cheers mate

[veganfishcake]

Let me know the result!

[Mikey Wong]

New TNS website, thanks to Nathan Shadowcops. He's a good lad.

We are not doing iTunes! Not a chance. Anyway amazon works by me, if only to get more hits on google.

[veganfishcake]

Fine. I think a TNS Records acount on www.last.fm/ is a good idea too so links to where you can buy CDs online and upload tracks if you wish, and last.fm pays you if the tracks get played.
