Features Disc of the day
Fucked Up
The Chemistry Of Common Life
(Matador, 2008)
Esoteric psych punk from Toronto. As seen in MOJO’s Albums of 2008…
…And possibly the only album on that list to feature band members with names like Pink Eyes, Mustard Gas and 10,000 Marbles. Fucked Up are an office favourite among those of us who feel nostalgic for the thrills of US hardcore but can’t face trawling the post-Green Day corporate punk landfill for the next three-minute thrill. Instead, we’re basking in Fucked Up’s multi, multi-tracked, guitar-washed romanticism, in which singer Pink Eyes barks and bellows with all hardcore’s brutish might, only, about how “The Essees still wait for the returned Elijah” (Days Of Last) or his desire to embrace “the purity of obscurity” (Black Albino Bones). Fucked Up aspire to more than just gatecashing Black Flag’s TV Party, though their hearts swell with the same adrenaline rush and countercultural loathing. The acceleration on opener Son Of The Father is enough to fill any jaded Hüsker Dü fan with joy. Now if Bob Mould would change his name to Gulag...
