But here they are, five albums in, still plugging away with their well-crafted, grown-up pop songs. This is the third single lifted from the "In The Music" album, and is unlikely to propel them to world domination, despite a lush chorus straight out of the seventies West coast songbook. Think America, rather than Big Star. Don't get me wrong. It's a good tune, but not a hit single.

See, the initial, attention grabbing riff gives way to some bog standard indie-rock. Which is a real shame. but then the chorus arrives to grab you by the throat, the riff returns and then, damn! The bridge goes and buggers it up again. Blast. This is so close to being a powerful, urgent and essential release, that it actually hurts. However, two out of three is more than most bands get nowadays, so keep an eye out for Tin Soldiers. They could end up being really special. Video here; http://www.tinsoldiers.co.uk
