Tin Soldiers

What they say.....

We can only assume that when making this record, Kent four-piece Tin Soldiers donned white coats, locked themselves in some sort of mad scientist audio-laboratory, and set out to fuse Feeder, Green Day and Ash together - thus creating the catchiest album known to man... When they emerged and droppe d the finished disk into the nearest player, it turned out that through their experiments in pop-rock fusion, they had in fact written the pop record that the Foo Fighters never wrote. From start to finish, every minute of 'Telling Tales' will wedge itself inside your head. Catchy doesn't even come close.
8/10 ROCKSOUND

a rampant, epic rocker that exudes youth, enthusiasm and enough hooks to fill an ocean. In addition, there’s a signature sound that is successful in providing the band with a distinctive edge in the marketplace. This is a very strong debut album. Strongly recommended.
4/5 SHAKENSTIR MAGAZINE

‘fast, energetic, frenetic, frantic, nigh perfect pop-rock, perfectly paced, brilliantly produced, artful musicianship, lively guitar solos….loud, bouncy, jump around brilliance.'
5/5 RED HOT VELVET

'a relentless gusto and verve nailed to a punchy radio-seeking production...an anxious Feeder with sharper teeth...Standout tracks Just About Us, Wait For You and 24 Hours demonstrate some keen songwriting skills '
7/10 CLASSIC ROCK

The strength of the songwriting goes a long way toward forgiving a sense of familiarity. Masterfully crafted guitar melodies and immediate hook-in the-head choruses are undoubtedly what these promising newcomers excel at.
TOURDATES MAGAZINE

The only time that Tin Soldiers are even slightly hesitant is at the very beginning, almost like they are just warming up for the 3 minutes of riffery and breathless delivery to come…arguably Tin Soldiers demonstrate even more urgency and a feeling of spiralling out of control than their more famous Foo cousins. Excellent stuff.
8/10 TASTY

Chugging guitars, explosive time changes, like Muse playing proper pop songs with Dave Grohl at the volume control. As you can imagine melodies are rife, guitars spin off and drums are given a good kicking, indeed frenetic dancing and weird shapes are often thrown as a result.
Q MAGAZINE

If you want catchy then it’s time to make the acquaintance of Tin Soldiers who rival the Ebola virus in terms of sheer infectiousness.
KERRANG

Four-piece outfit from Kent who...kick up a mighty post-grunge racket that is highly listenable and shows promise of a band with a lot to offer. [Word's Got Out] is a punchy number with a wonderfully commercial hook and is driven along at a pounding rate by the rhythm section. The band cite Foo Fighters as a major influence and there is a clear debt to them on this, with an anthemic chorus that sticks inside your head like putty..
GOD IS IN THE TV

...bombastic and swirly guitars are very much to the fore in this track which hits all the right notes in the right order.
CRACK MAGAZINE

...its only when three hours later when your singing these tunes in the bath that you begin to clock the quality of these tunes...even with simple ingredients, it takes class to pull it off as well as these boys do.Standout track here would be Day By Day where the band strip back the fuzz and let the singer have his lighters aloft moment. Elsewhere Just What I Needed would seem destined to soundtrack some kind of road trip moment in the next scary-pie-creek movie out of Hollywood.
