Originality beyond their years tends to be the general census of opinion when describing Tuco, although comparisons have been made with Beta Band, The Doves, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Flaming Lips, Aphex Twin, Super Furry Animals, King Crimson & Traffic. Real easy to pigeon-hole then?

Their ability to experiment with technological innovations offers vast soundscapes, thumping block chords and interspersed break beats. Earlier this year they released their debut mini album ‘The Shrinking Process’ which is made up of 6 distinctive cinematic tunes offering a beautiful sweeping wall of sound, wizard effects and twisted wails of electronics. Tuco’s thoughtfulness & crispness during live performances is further enhanced through their proficiency to add visuals which encapsulates their audience’s mood.



Tuco were described by the NME (June 05) as a band that is ‘dark, intense and packed with aching sadness’ and the Shrinking Process was described as ‘2005’s first genuine future lost classic.’
Some media

When the snide ‘fat’ jibes eventually drain the Magic Numbers of their happy-
clappy pizzazz, this is what they’ll sound like. Dark, intense and packed with
aching sadness and ambition in equal measure. Warringtons Tuco trade in
expansive guitarscapes, subtle electro atmospherics and staring-at-the-ceiling-
at-5am lyrical soul-searching. 2005’s first genuine future lost classic.
NME June 2005

Musing meanderingly through indie, Brit pop and plain old pop while skirting hip hop and blues; laboured by the bluesy vocals of Neil Osborne whose lyrics float around your mind, making a point about the opaque nature of mankind. There is quite clearly enough thoughtfulness and crispness on display to earn Tuco a chance to expand.
David Adair (Guardian)

White-noise washes of static soar up and over the grinding melody of the guitars and the Grandaddy counterpoint of the keyboards, and above it all howls the vocal, slightly flattened with distance but with enough emotion left to keep the listener hooked.
Holly Davies (Drowned in Sound.com)
