Suuns () is a Canadian rock band from Montreal. It was formed in mid-2007 when vocalist and guitarist Ben Shemie and guitarist and bassist Joe Yarmush got together to make some beats which quickly evolved into a few songs. The duo was soon joined by drummer Liam O'Neill and bassist and keyboardist Max Henry to complete the original line-up. The band signed to Secretly Canadian in 2010. Since 2018, Suuns saw the departure of Henry as an official member (he continues to record in the studio) to pursue a scholastic path, and in 2020 they officially signed with Joyful Noise Recordings with their 2020 output of Fiction EP followed by their LP The Witness.

"Dreamy listening."
"This record underscores Suuns' proclivity for cramming cold madness in their method."
Every line is muttered through gritted teeth and with steely reserve.
The weird thing is, despite the apparent lifts from other acts scattered throughout the record, it comes off as quite effective and, due to the choice of “influences”, nowhere near as derivative as it probably should.
