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:

This time next week Manchester Punk Festival will be underway. As we are sure you are aware TNS is one third of the MPF collective (alongside our friends at Anarchistic Undertones - Manchester (D.I.Y OR DIE) and Moving North).

As always there is so much good music you'll be spoilt for choice, but we thought now would be a good time to share which bands are playing that we have released music for.

We will also have our distro at The Union wristband exchange, so here is a flyer showing our recent releases. We will have all of these records alongside music from DIY bands/labels from all around the world, plus merch ranging from t-shirts to hot sauce. Please come and check it all out.

We are all very excited! See you next week. There are still a handful of tickets left.

PS: we made this image before WONK UNIT were added to the bill. Wonk Unit are also playing now! Not to be missed.
