Irrelevant Development - Live on BBC Tees

The debut release from Tusk is available from August 15th at www.wearetusk.co.uk

See the official video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpab0HDnrlw

Recorded and produced by James Hasselhurst

"Both songs present themselves in a well crafted, intelligent indie-rock style. Before The End is the more groove-orientated of the two, building itself round a slick bassline, with suitably anguished vocals in its verse sections. Some well-placed counter vocals add depth to the arrangement. As You begin, arguably the best of the two, is more of a catchy rock song from the outset; the sort that will undoubtedly get fans singing enthusiastically to this bright new act. 8/10"

Don't Wake Quickfinch

Tusk are four male humans who are in a band together and they live in Newcastle, England. 

After two independently released double a-side singles, Tusk released 'Interrobang EP' via Gateshead based Tiny Lights Recordings in April 2013.

Tusk have had numerous plays on local and national BBC radio stations, as well as being featured in a wide range of local press and online music journals. In terms of sound, the band have been compared to Minus The Bear, Foals, Battles and Wild Beasts.

This is what some people have said about Tusk:

"Like Muse with all of their ridiculous bombast removed; or Field Music with catchier riffs; or Foals with better vocals." 
- The Crack Magazine

"Their music is brilliantly off-kilter and unusual, with it’s subtle subversion of established sounds. However it is also catchy and extremely listenable. Most importantly it is brimming with substance." 
- Music Junkie 

“Just awesome, beautifully constructed melodic songs.” 
- Tiny Lights Recordings

"Math-pop-whiz-kids"
- Mixtape

"It’s an absolute beauty. There’s hints of Foals and Wild Beasts in the melodic melodrama of the songs. The single is rapidly becoming one of my favourites of 2012, so I’m really excited to hear what they come up with in the future." 
- Drowned In Sound (on Boy Bruce, The Mighty Atom)
