Biography:
In 2008 The Tunics broke out of Croydon as teenagers with a gift for effortless wit and lyrics infused with social critique and wisdom beyond their years. 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.

Bad boys at the back of the bus,
They’re kicking up a storm,
They’re kicking up a fuss about something,
That you know you never did,
This is something a kid should never witness
What’s this, cat’s got your tongue,
Left right pocket he brandishes a gun,
Is it a fake one, well who could ever tell?
As you wish to god, you’d be saved by the stop bell
F#m
Conductor or CCTV,
A
But no one’s out there who’s willing to help me,
E
In this what is my one time of need,
B
Thoughts spinning, kicking up a speed
F#m
Is this what free travel costs?
A
A phone and a wallet and a new iPod
E
Your grace and your last shreds of dignity
B
Are thrown away as you begin to plead
F#m
For what you believe could be your life or your teeth
A
Your love or your money or your wife to be
E
There’s answers to questions you’ll forever seek
B
Why did you do this to me?
F#5 E5 A5 B5 F#5 x4
F#m
It’s a sad sorry state of affairs
A
Looking there and everywhere for someone who cares
E
Someone to be there and see
B
I’ve nowhere to go
F#m
But to go where the flowers grow
A
Live among the garden stones
E
There’s nowhere for this boy
B
to roam
F#m
Bad boys with toy guns
A
On the last train in the setting sun
E
Make up for one long
B
walk home
F#m
Is this what free travel costs?
A
A phone and a wallet and a new iPod
E
Your grace and your last shreds of dignity
B
Are thrown away as you begin to plead
