TNSrecords Fanzine
TNSrecords also produce a fanzine which is free, and available at various music stores, and also on-line. The Fanzine features reviews of recent musical releases from the Punk rock, Ska, Hardcore, Psychobilly, and occasionally other genres, as well as articles, often of a comedy nature, and news about forthcoming gigs. That's Not Skanking fanzine originally started in 2003, in Manchester. It covered punk rock, ska and related genres. That incarnation of the fanzine lasted 18 issues, with an average run of 250 copies. However, the launch of TNSrecords resulted in the fanzine being relaunched as TNSrecords fanzine. As of Summer 2011 there have been 14 issues, which usually coincided with label releases and have a print run of around 1500. The fanzine also uses imagery of animals and has also featured comical features such as funny footballer names and human impressions of animals. Content wise it varies from covering the ridiculous, through to more political and social issues. Band wise, as well as documenting the local scene and bands from the label, interviews have also been conducted with more established acts such as Zeke, Million Dead and many more. The fanzine is currently featured in an exhibition at salford Art Gallery, curated by Salford Zine Library. The film features commentary by Andy.
