Fucked Up

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

While Canadian punk provocateurs Fucked Up play aggressive and incendiary music, that's hardly where their desire to stir up trouble begins and ends. The group strays far from the standard template of four-four punk stomp, incorporating extended instrumental workouts, unusual arrangements, and lengthy experimental passages along with the furious guitars and ranting vocals. While Fucked Up have paid homage on record to pioneering anarchist movements and creative and political troublemakers of all stripes, they've also flirted with fascist images and obscure mysticism i...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. Kings of punk and hardcore Fucked Up return with a mammoth 12" single, second in a series of records based on the Chinese Zodiac. Year of the Pig is an 18 minute 34 second long prog-punk masterpiece featuring lush piano and organ arrangements by Max Danger (The Deadly Snakes) and guest vocals by Toronto's Jennifer Castle. Year of the Pig starts with gentle guitar and soothing organ before heading into darker territory with gruff male vocals offset by Castle's angelic singing a   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Insound LP+MP3! "Year of the Rat" was recorded at the culmination of 2008 and adheres to the principles of the Chinese sign. Side A memorializes this transformative year of political and cultural uncertainty with a cascade of guitars layering into a dense and propulsive charge reminiscent of the most memorable Hawkwind songs. The B-side "First Born" is not just a mediation on becoming a father - it's an uncompromising push towards a new sincerity. Don't doubt for a second that his position is    [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. 180-gram vinyl in gatefold sleeve. Comes with free download coupon!

Merging elements of hardcore songwriting with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds, and vocals, the songs are iconoclastic and startling, with Pink Eyes' growling vocals front and center.

VINYL FORMAT. Here's some rocked out hardcore/punk from Canada with a raw recording and a little bit of a garage rock/punk sort of thing happening, but definitely a lot angrier - notably due to the gruff vocal yells. It's sort of catchy and barely melodic, but not in a poppy way, make no mistake, this is rugged, pissed off shit right here. "Municipal Pricks" is a lot faster and more aggressive overall, but the rawness of the recording throws that off a little bit since the distortion isn't heavy so much as    [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The first track from Fucked Up's The Chemistry Of Common Life is this immense multi-tracked assemblage, entitled "No Epiphany." The 7" contains two versions of the song entirely different from the album version you're about to hear. The word "monumental" was invented for music like this. Backing vocals by Cassie Ramone, Frankie Rose and Kickball Katy.

Fucked Up's first full-length studio album marks a turning point for the mysterious Toronto band, transcending the boundaries of punk with melody, aggression, expansive structures, and enigmatic diatribes on what lies under the immediate, visualized world. They combine confrontational ideologies with deliberate misinformation to produce a brutal analysis on thought provocative punk. "Ironically, their fast and sloppy early 80's hardcore is a million times more musical and ferocious than 99% of professional    [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Their 5th official 7", "Dance of Death" is their most recent studio recording which includes another two smoking tracks of melodic rock-tuned hardcore punk. Following in the path of their 3rd EP (Baiting the Public), "Dance of Death" keeps the same mid-tempo pace and solid guitar driven song structures accompanied with burly vocals ala Jerry A/Poison Idea.
