However, they did this without forgetting the infectious, high energy, indie guitar riffs that sold out shows of dancing and moshing teenagers and that got them banned from playing in a venue or two in their early days as Croydon cult favorites.
Fast forward to 2010, and The Tunics and BMG are proud to announce the release of their long-awaited 2nd album on the 21st of February 2011. Their debut single, “Cost of Living”, released in 2008 quickly garnered significant critical acclaim from the likes of NME to bloggers and industry insiders from all over the world. Video playlists in the UK (E4, NME TV) alongside radio play in indie stations in Germany, Australia, U.S., Greece— to name a few— helped establish a new cult following far beyond the boundaries of the A23 and Croydon, and set things in motion for the band.
The upcoming album is a result of a more serious and mature band that has reined in and honed its raw, bursting talent. Two years of touring the UK and Europe with the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club and Nada Surf, playing at T in the Park, and continuous songwriting and experimentation have taught them a few lessons, and resulted in a more secure, yet somber, band. Out with the indie pop riffs, and in with a fuller, more ethereal sound that retains the powerful, elegant lyrics that are meant to entertain, perplex, and spark meaningful thought.
First single “Low” will be released on the 13th of December.
The Tunics are Joe Costello (vocals & guitar), Scott Shepherd (bass guitar), James Booth (keys), and Simon Hargreaves (drums)

The Tunics Lyrics
A Winter's Tale They say if you say that you love her too That…
Cost of Living Bad boys at the back of the bus, They're kicking up…
Fade Out Can you see me, or can you hear me Oh can…
In the City Pay your debt to the man on the corner He poses…
Shine On I am the messiah and the king of kings And I…
Stay Young When people get old Things seem to matter more And whether…
The Way It Is Once upon a time in a town no different to…
Turn Away Turn away For there is nothing left to see It's just crowd…
Waiting She’s fine – waiting for the enemy She’ll sell her soul…
Whatever Happened The days are long And the nights they’ve gone And there’s no…
