TUNIC: Flood Magazine premieres seizure-inducing video for new single "You're a Bug" from upcoming Artoffact Records album "Quitter"
With Tunic's new single "You're a Bug" released today via all streaming platforms, Flood Magazine has premiered the track's official music video.
Stream the "You're a Bug" video – which comes with a strobe warning – here:
The video was created by director Ryan Steel.
"You're a Bug" appears on Tunic's upcoming sophomore album, Quitter, out October 15th on Artoffact Records.
Tunic guitarist/vocalist David Schellenberg states: "The song 'You're A Bug' is the oldest song on Quitter. I wrote the bassline and the lyrics on the last night of our first-ever European tour in early 2018 and I knew I had something that I was excited to work on once we got home. The video was very fun and quick to make, we just went to Ryan's apartment, painted our faces green and jumped in front of his green screen and then he worked his magic."
Engineered and mixed by Jace Lasek (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) at Private Ear Studios in Winnipeg and mastered by Carl Saff (Bambara, Human Impact), Quitter is a concept album whose songs explore various manifestations of "quitting."

Tunic can trace its musical roots to the caustic, angular stylings of Big Black and The Jesus Lizard and their colleagues from across the AmRep and Touch and Go rosters. Pummeling drums, distorted bass, discordant guitar, and wild-eyed vocals combine and lurch forward like an Army tank of sound. Yet, Tunic is more transparent than its noise-rock heroes ever were. There is an earnestness that links the Winnipeg outfit to a line of more heartfelt ancestors — post-hardcore gods like Drive Like Jehu and Fugazi. Frontman David Schellenberg lays his soul bare as he screams his head off about the most personal of topics.
Prior to 2020, Tunic prided itself on playing a minimum of 100 shows per year. This attitude led to shows across North America with the likes of Metz, New Primals and Winnipeg brethren KEN mode. Stay tuned for news of the next live appearances.
