Tin Soldiers – 24 Hours (On the Run)

I was really gearing up for not liking this but I’m now totally won over. 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. An admirably accurate press release likens ’24 hours’ to a Foo Fighters’ ‘Monkey Wrench’, though 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
