Tunic / Nerver / Big Water / Abandoncy

Modelled after Tunic’s live attack, Quitter is a record about quitting. With an ugly and unhinged blast of catharsis that can comfortably live beside the tuneful noise of Metz, the spazzy-goth freakouts of Daughters and the riffy melodicism of Pile, the sophomore release from the acrobatic post-hardcore crew is a record about discomfort– tackling founding member David Schellenberg’s new found sobriety and the recent exit of co-founding member Rory Ellis along with themes of loss, survival and perseverance. Tunic delved deep into that initial struggle of freeing yourself from the bonds of a depressant, its emotional connections and learning new ways to cope outside of substances to form the crux of the ideas behind the LP, punctuating the entirety with a boatload of riffs inspired by everyone from Botch to The Jesus Lizard.
