Kent's Tin Soldiers already have one successful album in the bag and are now poised to take things to the next level.

2010's Telling Tales picked up praise from the likes of Q Magazine, Kerrang! and Rock Sound and packed in enough singles to cultivate a near constant stream of airplay for their music videos on MTV, Scuzz, The Box and Kerrang! TV with Xfm, Kerrang, Q and Absolute radio all rallying to support singles that were crafted in partnership with the world renowned production talents of Greg Brim(...)son (Supergrass, Metallica, Bush) & John Cornfield (Muse, Feeder, Radiohead).

Their sound remains solid. Full of melodic riffs, powerful choruses and driven by a powerhouse of a rhythm section which often sees them compared to bands like the Foo Fighters, Muse and Feeder. There's a timeless quality to it all; rock music with true populist credentials that has the staying power to transgress generations and retain its appeal. 2011 has already seen the band play at numerous events in the UK and abroad including showcases at the Merc store on Carnaby street and a live session at London's Kings Cross station with UBR and Absolute Radio. With more live shows to come and a fan base that's growing quicker than China's economy, this looks to be the year that Tin Soldiers will head out of the shadows and into the mainstream arena.

Now signed to My Major Company UK the band are working with investors to gather the resources required for their second album. The MMC label is a new model in the UK music industry which sees a community of fans and business people invest in talent that has the potential to make them a healthy return. Once they've raised the £100,000 costs for the album, My Major Company UK will then provide the support needed to reach out and promote the bands creation on an international scale.

Hi all,

We've had some nice bits of press recently. Check them out -

Shout For Music - Tin Soldiers / Just What I Needed

http://www.shout4music.com/single-reviews/tin-soldiers-just-what-i-needed.html

British four-piece Tin Soldiers have been receiving a fair amount of praise since the 2010 release of their debut album ‘Telling Tales’, including being named one of Big Cheese Magazine’s best of 2010 and an official introduction in Kerrang! Magazine. But as the band release their new single ‘Just What I Needed’, you can’t help but feel that things aren’t likely to slow down anytime soon for the quartet. The single is a fantastic slice of pop-rock as it brings to mind bands like Sum 41 and even Foo Fighters, which the band actually cite as one of their influences. Opening with fast-paced, driving guitars, the track can also be described as a great salute to post-grunge as it generally emits an awesome and animated type of energy throughout. Of course, the catchiness of the track doesn’t go unnoticed as the band go for an upbeat, stadium-worthy chorus which is sure to go down a storm at future gigs. Currently working on their second album, ‘Just What I Needed’ works as a good taster to what many will be eagerly anticipating. Be sure to catch the boys as they head off on tour this summer for what will surely be a terrific set of shows.

Get Ready To Rock - Tin Soldiers / Just What I Needed

http://abigailsuter.posterous.com/review-of-just-what-i-needed-by-tin-soldiers

Ploughing their way through the ranks of the music industry, Tin Soldiers have been proudly introduced to the readers of Kerrang! and are well on their way to the top. Their debut album, “Telling Tales” was released last year and they’re back with brand spanking new single, “Just What I Needed” to be released on the 18^th of April.

The track relies on an extremely upbeat base that is added to by pop-rock style vocals. The chorus is unbelievably catchy and although rather basic and nothing particularly new, it gives an overall good impression of the band and clearly demonstrates their ability to conjure up the perfect rock song similar to something The Foo Fighters are capable of.

Tin Soldiers have already built themselves up quite a fanbase but my expectations are that this will continue to grow significantly over the next few years as they easily hijack the music channels and show off their radio-friendly melodies.

Unplug The Jukebox - Tin Soldiers / Just What I Needed

http://unplugthejukebox.com/2011/04/tin-soldier-just-what-i-needed/

With British Summertime apparently arriving early, what we now need is the soundtrack to those long days on the beach.  Look no further than the latest single from Kent four piece Tin Soldiers.

“Just What I Needed” has a complete summery vibe.  The verses recall latter day Manics before a killer chorus that Feeder would be proud of kicks in unceremoniously.  Trust me, once it’s in your head it won’t leave in a hurry.  This is upbeat, commercial pop-rock at it’s best.   You can imagine a video being shot on a sunkissed beach for this. 

Songs like “Just What I Needed” are made for blasting out of the stereo whilst driving along with your mates on a gorgeous summers day (much like today!).  Listen to this without singing along….go on….I dare you!

Never Enough Notes - Tin Soldiers / Just What I Needed

http://www.neverenoughnotes.co.uk/wordpress/2011/04/tin-soldiers-just-what-i-needed-180411-on-the-run/

Hmm. I'm getting a very strange sort of déja vu here. And it's not that I've heard this song before, it's more subtle than that. It's more like I'm sitting on the school bus in 2002, maybe 2003, and it's playing on the radio, or something like it anyway, and maybe it's a bit sunny, and I'm nodding along and probably thinking about girls and homework and how unfair everything is, and...

Sorry. Where was I?

Apparently, the number of girls who scrawled Tin Soldiers across their chests hit triple figures last year. Which, well. You know. Fair play. I didn't realise that a sort of Feeder / Sum 41 crossbreed-type business was floating everybody's boats. Maybe my finger isn't as on the pulse as I thought. Or maybe, dear God, I'm actually getting old. No, surely not.

This review might seem a bit disjointed. It's largely because I'm very ambivalent about this song. On the one hand, it does sound like the last eight or nine years didn't happen. It also sounds a lot like Feeder and Sum 41. And it's pop rock, a genre with which I have a rocky, semi-abusive relationship. But on the other hand, the production is good, with appealingly crunchy fuzz guitar and big drums, and it's got a nice sort of catchiness to it. And although the singer really does sound loads like Grant Nicholas, I like Grant Nicholas. So you can almost pretend that you're listening to Feeder, and that it's not 2011, and everything isn't disappearing rapidly down the toilet.

On that score, I think I'm going to let Tin Soldiers get away with it. Because they make me think I'm listening to Feeder in 2002. And all the ghastly stuff that's happened since 2002 hasn't happened. Obviously all the ghastly stuff that happened before 2002 did happen, but I'm fourteen years old in 2002, and therefore don't care about anything that's not me. So it's fine.
