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.[1][2] The band's name is a reference to the Technical University of Nova Scotia.[3]

History

Formed in 2015, the group released its debut single "Throw It All Away" that year,[1] shortly before their first major live performance at Hayden's Dream Serenade benefit concert at Massey Hall alongside Joel Plaskett, The Weather Station, and Choir! Choir! Choir!.[4][5] They performed around Ontario with Zeus in November that year,[6] and continued touring in 2016, including at the Hillside Festival in Guelph.[7][8]

The band's self-titled debut album was released in August 2016 on Royal Mountain Records.[3][9] The tracks were recorded live, with some mixing in of vocals and guitar solos.[8] The single "Mind Over Matter" reached #1 on CBC Radio 2's Radio 2 Top 20 chart the week of July 8, 2016.[10]

Their second album, Duly Noted, was released in 2021.[11]
