"Off f**king kilter but totally on point!" -- CvltNation
"A quick-moving monument to disaffection. Shades of post-hardcore and noise rock come together in the spirit of cooperative aggression." -- The Obelisk
"Their own unique brand of noise rock and hardcore... Eleven tunes of feedback-laden mastery laid over churning blows of drums and bass." -- Pure Grain Audio
Canadian noise rock trio Tunic are streaming their forthcoming album in full today ahead of release via Ghost Cult Magazine. Hear and share the full album, Complexion HERE. (Direct Soundcloud.)
Tunic launches a European tour next week, followed immediately by extensive North American dates in Spring 2019. Please see all dates below.
The band recently premiered the hallucinogenic and oddly disorienting video for "Dry Heave" via The Obelisk HERE. (Direct YouTube.) CvltNation previously launched lead single "Nothing Nothing" HERE. (Direct Bandcamp.) Pure Grain Audio hosted "Blessed" HERE.
Tunic is born of spite. After years of touring someone else's bass lines across the globe, David Schellenberg was told he wasn't good enough. So he did the only logical thing: buy a guitar, quit your long-time band, and abandon everything you think you know about music. Armed with no skill and a blissfully ignorant embrace of discordant noise, Schellenberg started crafting songs, quickly enlisting childhood acquaintance Sam Neal on drums and roommate Rory Ellis on bass.
Over the past 4 years and half a dozen DIY releases, Tunic has managed to unleash and tame their unique blend of noise rock and hardcore. Relentless touring has taken them across Canada, Europe and the States, filling clubs, basements, and abandoned prisons with noise. The band released the single Teeth Showing on Toronto's Buzz Records in 2018, which they toured with new drummer Dan Unger.
Tunic's debut album Complexion was recorded in six days in their hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba with Montreal-based engineer and producer Jace Lasek (Suuns, Land of Talk, Wolf Parade). Complexion picks up where previous releases left off; 11 songs of feedback-laden filth laid over churning blows of drum and bass. Harsh verses about hurting those you never meant to hurt; choruses that sever ties where you never thought you had to. This is unconventional hardcore. This is broken indie rock. This is naïve art.
Complexion will be available on LP, CD and download on February 8th, 2018 via Self Sabotage Records (Pre-order at Big Cartel-Self Sabotage).
