Fucked Up

What’s the missing link between Toronto’s hardcore punk scene and Fox News? We can’t really say, it’s rude.

No one’s getting out of this alive.

They are the only band to have a feature review in the New York Times that doesn’t mention their name even once. Must be some kind of Beetlejuice curse or something…

Fucked Up, Fucked Up, Fucked Up… See? Nothing happens. It’s fair to say that since 2001, the Toronto-based hardcore act didn’t make things easy by picking up such a name, releasing a truckload of hard-to-find obscure 7” and then ending up each time by ripping apart several times the MTV live set. Makes you wonder how they ever got invited? Besides his amazing performances and a sick fascination for self-sacrifice, smart frontman of Fucked Up Damian Abraham got connections. He’s been making fucked-up-on-fox-newsappearances on the Fox News show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld who has personnaly rated their full length “The Chemistry of Common Life”  as album of the year. This opus also won them this year’s Canadian Polaris Prize.
