BIO.

Tuck shares members with Parlour Steps, the West Coast Symphony and the Phoenix Chamber Choir. Two of its members (Amos Ashust and Rob Linton) spent their early twenties writing and performing music in an obscure band that included Sarah Neufeld of Arcade Fire and Bell Orchestre.

Tuck does not succumb to the temptations of trend or gimmickry, and thus has a sound that is honest and unique; while at the same time being accessible to a wide range of listeners. The music is grimy, jumpy progressive folk rock with a dab of pop. It has been described as dramatic, beautiful and atmospheric. Highlights include three part harmonies, clarinet (when available) and cello.

Tuck's musicianship is exceptionally high, and performing live is one of the band's strengths.

In 2005 Tuck was awarded a FACTOR (Foundation Assisting Canadian Artists On Recordings) grant to record its debut EP "Seven Songs".

"Lullabies and Other Lies" (the band's first full-length album) was co-produced with the Juno-award winning producer Steve Dawson.

The song, "Lullabies and Other Lies", made it to the semi-finals in the International Songwriting Competition; the competition had over 15,000 entrants. The song's author is listed as Amos Ashurst at International Song Competition Semi-Finalists. This song also made it to the semi-finals in Mike Pinder's Songwars Competition. And it charted at number 20 on Toronto's CIUT, which is one better established Canadian campus community radio stations.

The album "Lullabies and Other Lies" has been on rotation on several college radio stations; as well as on CBC Radios 1, 2 and 3. It has also received extremely positive reviews.

Tuck has recently become affiliated with Copperspine Records.
