Winnipeg is cold. Ice cold. And judging by the the emotional brawn and hardcore might of the three-piece Tunic, it can get very very dark.
Winnipeg’s Tunic explore that darkness on the band’s new release Exhaling, due on April 9, 2021 via Artoffact Records. Across songs like the title track, “Invalid” and “Fade Out,” the trio of David Schellenberg (Guitar / Vocals), Rory Ellis (Bass) and Dan Unger (Drums) use their visceral art punk approach to explore themes related to coping with the illness of a loved one, the dark side of creativity and dealing with toxic friendships.
Tunic was born of spite in 2012– formed after founder David Schellenberg was told he “wasn’t good enough” for another band leading to a subsequent decision to follow his own path. From there, Tunic sought out a sound inspired by the melodic approaches of Quicksand and Superchunk, venom and heartache in Converge and controlled chaos behind Botch. Since their 2016 debut 7”, Tunic have criss-crossed the globe relentlessly, zigging and zagging as part of more than a dozen jaunts in North America and Europe while logging shows with a varied lot like Ken Mode, Single Mothers and even Hank Wood and the Hammerheads. Tunic’s touring bloodlust eventually conjured a debut LP in 2019,Complexion and not surprisingly, the band followed its releasewith eleven weeks of touring.
The first single, “Exhaling,” serves as a taste of demolition. Tunic’s next full length hit in 2021: 'Quitter'.
'A Sledgehammer of noise rock!'
'Straightforward, angst-ridden and feedback-laden chaos'
'The year's most ferocious collections ofnoisy and raucous art punk.'
'Every bit as gnarly and unhinged as we’vecome to expect'
