Fucked Up

Toronto hardcore quintet Fucked Up—four dudes and a lady—is known for its insane live shows, which feature mountains of volume and singer Damian Abraham hurling his large body into the crowd and, on occasion, smashing beer cans on his head. After spending time on Jade Tree, the band hooked up with Matador to release its second album, The Chemistry Of Common Life, a critical smash that did more to reach across the hardcore genre aisle than any band since Refused. The band just released its self-proclaimed rock opera, David Comes To Life, a sprawling collection of 18 songs over 78 minutes that exceeds the ambitious aspirations set for itself, exemplifying Fucked Up’s much-deserved success.
