![]() We have a memorable appealing charm about `Double Down` a number narrating a risky gambling strategy which put me in mind of the type of classic pop classics The Monkees were famous for. `Words and Music` has a little more of an indie come belligerent touch about it but still retains that mesmerising harmonic effect and retains some wistfulness about it. A marvellously compelling tune with a couple of short but intricate guitar breaks and sweet vocal harmonies. The song seemed to convey what we all feel at times that we`d be much braver or different in another moment or life. I thought that `In Another Life` had again a period feel about it. A tale that tells the story of the trials and tribulations involved in the early blossoming of a romance. `I’ll Only Love You More` had a dreamy Beatles ish feel until mid-way through where it took a real curve ball and gained a slightly harder edge and a much faster pace with the lyrics rapidly shared. There were some wonderful harmonies and intricate guitar riffs throughout. We return to a more Byrd like retro sound with `Everybody Knows` which had a little hint of `So You Wanna Be a Rock `n` Roll Star` but relates a tale of finding something out where you seem to be the last one to know about it. `My Memories` is a song of somebody plagued by past reminiscences and enjoys a really fascinating almost Celtic rock guitar riff that put me in mind of Scottish band Big Country. Quite captivating guitar chords and some charming vocal harmonies. A quite eclectic guitar riff leads us into and through `We Stand United` with a shuffling repeated drum beat and steady bass line. A sort of break up song that has some pounding drums, thumping bass and some superb guitar riffs that give it a sort of modern day Byrds texture. The album opens with `In The Middle Of The Way Home` and it`s a cracker. The record was recorded and mixed by Mike as well. They have a new album “Duly Noted” which follows up their self-titled debut from 2016 and like that it features a drawing of the three friends done by Mike O’Neill. Unlike their other projects, all TUNS songs start out as jams made up on the spot. All three currently live in Toronto, Ontario. They were looking for a Halifax reference for their name, so they chose TUNS for the Technical University of Nova Scotia, which no longer exists. Matt and Chris grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia while Mike grew up in Oshawa, Ontario but moved to Nova Scotia in 1996. ![]() The three friends started playing together as TUNS in 2015. TUNS is a Canadian indie rock supergroup, consisting of Mike O’Neill of The Inbreds, Chris Murphy of Sloan and Matt Murphy of The Super Friendz.
