Tuna were born in florence in 2017 and provocatively define their sound as “normal music” mixing indie rock, emo punk and 00s Italian alternative to which they combine lyrics always poised between songwriting sensibility, irony and saudade. The contradictory beauty of existential malaise and nostalgia can be found in their writing.
In 2018 thanks to the self-titled ep TONNO they get the attention of the public and perform at MiAmi In Milan. This was followed in 2020 by the album When I Was Satanist, produced by Andrea Marmorini and released by Woodworm, The featuring-rich EP Spin-Off in 2021, self-produced and released by Woodworm, and the album Miraculously Unharmed in 2022, produced by Tommaso Colliva and released by Woodworm. In late 2024 they launched as independents the single “Da Solo,” a punk-rock track recorded by Andrea Sologni of Gazebo Penguins. They return in early 2025 with two new singles, “The Saddest Song in the World” and “The Third Bike I Got Screwed.” These last three songs are part of a plan for independent record releases that will continue throughout 2025 as an HBO series.
Tuna is made of:
- Alessio Orrico Bass guitar and vocals
- Federico Baldini Drums
- Fabio Benincasa Guitar and backing vocals
- Nicholas Stohrer Guitar, Synth and backing vocals
Opening
GARDA 1990
Garda 1990 is an encounter between the nuances of American midwest emo and the expressive urgency of ’90s sound. The trio — Davide Traina, Lorenzo Atti, and Francesco Dalla — has now become a prominent force in the Italian underground scene. The project was born in May 2017 from the solo initiative of Davide Traina, who began composing and recording the first tracks in a small architecture studio on Via Marsala in Bologna. In March 2018, their debut album “Downtown” took shape and was released a year later by several independent labels.
The summer of 2019 marked a turning point: after a series of concerts, Lorenzo officially joined on bass and Albrecht on drums, while Davide decided to abandon English and begin singing in Italian. The new lineup gave life to an emocore power trio with post-gaze influences.
In July of the same year, the band recorded five new tracks, which became the EP “Venti”, released in September 2020. In 2022, with Kaufmann’s departure, Francesco joined on drums, bringing new energy to the group.
After countless concerts and just as many twists and turns, in April 2023 Garda 1990 entered the studio to record their new album: “Forevermore Segreti”, nine intense, emotionally charged tracks delivered without interpretive filters. The album — recorded, mixed, and produced by Andrea Maglia and Carmelo Gerace at Bleach in Gittana, on Lake Como — will be released on April 4, 2025 via La Tempesta Dischi.
