TNSrecords

TNSrecords TNSrecords is a Manchester based independent record label. TNS (That’s Not Skanking) was founded i As of 04/05/2023 we have 119 releases.

TNS was started as a zine in 2003, became a band night in 2004 and became a DIY label in 2008. TNS is run based on the following core principles:

- TNS are dedicated to supporting exciting music at grass roots level.
- We believe in the music 'scene' working together as a community making every aspect better for all, discriminating against none.
- TNS is run on a not-for-profit basis. We general

ly just about cover costs, anything else funds future releases.
- 'TNS' bands should be actively involved in supporting other bands and helping them to play in their towns, working as hard as possible to get underground music out to genuine fans.
- TNS oppose pay-to-play gigs, music competitions and money grabbing promotors. Music should never be about competing.
- We believe that music can be a positive force politically, socially and morally, but also that everyone involved should have lots of fun! We will try to keep this profile up to date as and when we release more:

2024 was far from our busiest year, but we still managed to put out eight top quality releases. It was a bit of an international year for us too, with bands from Myanmar, Denmark, Germany, Scotland and Wales, with Leeds, London and Manchester bands also involved. The global punk scene is a beautiful thing and it is an absolute pleasure to work with these wonderful bands.

Thanks so much for all of your incredible support as always. We simply can't exist if people don't buy our releases. The fact that our 129th release is at the pressing plant, with TNS130 also planned is certainly not something we take for granted, and definitely something we'd never have dreamed possible when the label started in 2008.

As many of you know, we started as a fanzine in 2003 and then evolved into a band night in 2004. The fact that Manchester Punk Festival was named the UK's Best Small Festival at the UK Festival Awards 20 years after that first TNS gig is something that absolutely blows our minds. Obviously we aren't doing this for awards, but it has helped to make it a pretty special year for ourselves and the wonderful community that has built around that event.

Thanks so much everyone, we will see you in 2025.
