Defeated by you again I've been betting on a losing horse For far too long, it won't suffice. This outcome was your doing An alternate version watching myself Exhaling poison on you and you and you Exhaling poison on you and you and you Eyelids open Grey oceans take hold of me They support my neck And feed me tales Of being overcome alone Exhaling poison on you and you and you Exhaling poison on you and you and you Exhaling poison on you and you and you Exhaling poison on you and you and you

A meager existence Put your blinders on Focus on anything, But this one thing It spews from your pores This can't be withdrawn It spews from your pores Focus the lens And the rest will become blurry Unconventional shapes That take up, space for you It spews from your pores This can't be withdrawn It spews from your pores This can't be withdrawn It spews from your pores This can't be withdrawn It spews from your pores This can't be withdrawn It spews from your pores This can't be withdrawn It spews from your pores This can't be withdrawn

It lasted a few hours Where we thought we were safe You're going to see me in a new, In a new light Blinded by frontal lobe Blinded by frontal lobe Now all i have left Is to scream about it Revisiting a choice That one day will be wise Blinded by frontal lobe Blinded by frontal lobe I could have done better I could have more tact You wanna be the boss You wanna be in control I can't have that I can't have that I could have done better I could have more tact.

about

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 explores that darkness on the band’s new album Exhaling. 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.

“I’m not one to write about situations/emotions that I haven’t lived through,” remarks frontman/guitarist David Schellenberg. “I need that catharsis of screaming about these things over and over again. These are all things that have unfolded in my life and I use Tunic as a coping mechanism.”

Tunic was born of spite in– 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 release with eleven weeks of touring.

The first single, “Exhaling,” serves as a taste of demolition before Tunic’s next full length hits in 2021. This new song, and the legion of firepower on the band’s previous works, serve as fair warning of the brutality that awaits.
