Timing aside, Fucked Up have released "I Hate Summer" through Matador Records a few months prior to the band's scheduled Bruise Cruise trek - a punk rock cruise line that I'll let you figure out for yourself. This time, the band takes a step back from the David Comes to Life message and just shits out good music. Fucked Up - I Hate Summer by Bears and Bullets
Toronto punkers Fucked Up, quite possibly the best active band on the face of the planet, are the headliners of next February's floating punk-rock festival the Bruise Cruise , and frontman Damian Abraham is also serving as cruise director, whatever that could possibly mean. (An informed guess: It will involve professional wrestling in some capacity.) And to celebrate their involvement, the band has given the world a two-minute banger called "I Hate Summer." Download "I Hate Summer" below. Read More...
Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive Alex Agnant Nearly a year after Black Lips kicked off the inaugural tropical Bruise Cruise , the tales of hijinx on the high seas are still making the rounds. So unless you prefer to experience your rock'n'roll shenanigans second-hand, you might want to sign up for this year's three-day voyage (Feb. 10-13) from Miami to Nassau, Bahamas. Come set sail with a boat-load of [...]
![[Listen] Fucked Up: "I Hate Summer"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3895154_lg.jpg)
Es dificil de creer esos rumores que dicen que Fucked Up estaria separandose el proximo año debido a las declaraciones que hizo Damian Abrahan hace algunas semanas en las que mencionaba el hecho de que 'ya no puede salir de gira' y bueno, esto hizo que muchas personas cercanas a la banda pensaran que tal vez durante 2012 entren en un hiatus indefinido pero contrario a lo que se podria pensar, despues de toooda la musica que nos han entregado este año ademas de su excelente material " David Comes To Life ", siguen juntos y siguen lanzando [...]
In commemoration of their upcoming stay aboard the Bruise Cruise , Toronto hardcore band Fucked Up has offered up a previously-unreleased track for a new split single with The Dirtbombs. Even out of season, "I Hate Summer" is a maddeningly simply, yet unequivocally furious punk gem, a return to simpler musical times after the band's last LP, the grandiose David Comes to Life . Check out the song below; cruise guests will receive a copy of the single in their gift bags. Further down you'll find [...]
Records The holiday season is upon us, and as such, you are probably pondering what to get for that special someone. Might we suggest...a record? Over the next several weeks Frontier Psychiatrist will be providing you with numerous gift-giving options as we countdown our favorites of 2011. But, before we get there, allow us to go back in time and share with you our favorites from 2010 that, for some reason, we were unable to discuss a year ago. 10. Fucked Up - [...]
Uh-oh. It's started. It's not even December yet and yet the great Season Of Lists is upon us. As 2011 slowly creeps to a close, every man, woman, magazine, website, and radio station is publishing their Albums Of The Year List. Of all the major players, Decibel Magazine - America's only monthly metal magazine, and [...]
(Daniel Boud) WHO: Toronto's favourite hardworking raucous crew, Fucked Up WHAT: A series of benefit concerts for COUNTERfit's drug users memorial project , where Fucked Up will play all 74 minutes of David Comes To Life , and be joined by pals PS I Love You and Quest for Fire on the first night, and Sloan, Ohbijou, and Bonjay the second night. More acts for both shows will be announced soon. WHEN: December 20 [...]
Beat London's Summer Camp likes them some make-believe, that much is clear. Their first appearance on the musical radar was in the guise of a Swedish septet with a taste for vintage photographs who'd met at a Summer retreat - hence their name. It didn't take too long for them to be outed as the English duo of Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey, which may have disappointed fans of elaborate back stories but should have done nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of those who like enthusiastic boy-girl indie-pop. Not that [...]
Countdown I have written extensively about music videos this year, likely spilling much more virtual ink than was necessary in the process. So, for this year-end countdown, I will repress my instincts and allow the visuals to speak for themselves. Please feel free to post your own favorites in the comments box below. Let's begin. 10. Battles - "Ice Cream" 9. Mr Motherfuckin' eXquire [...]
Y'all hear of Matador before? Better have... Some of the best indie rock of the last decade comprises the sophomore label's catalog. Here is a list of some of our favorite tracks. Unguided - The New Pornographers Smoke Ring For My Halo - Kurt Vile Autumn Sweater - Yo La Tengo Take You On A Cruise - Interpol I Want The World To Stop - Belle and Sebastian Be Your Baby - Harlem Alchemy And You - Cold Cave [...]
[Photos courtesy of Jon Melnick. See his Flickr stream [ HERE ]] Music is passion. Music is anger. Music is triumph. Music is sorrow. Music is love. Somehow a Fucked Up show manages to incorporate them all. To love Fucked Up is to understand the wonder and beauty of the clean, rising chords of "Let Her Rest", the multilayered, joyous dueling-guitar attack of "Running On Nothing", and the gravel-scrubbed squall of incomparable frontman Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham's vocals. What makes sense about a Toronto band with an absolutely crack rhythm section, who puts out double-LP rock [...]
Daniel Boud If the ubiquity of decorations, lights and carols wasn't enough of a hint, let me be the one to break it to you - like it or not, the Christmas season is upon us. And with the holiday season comes Christmas concerts and performances, but if Handel's Messiah or The Nutcracker Suite aren't your speed, local hardcore heroes Fucked Up would like to offer you an alternative - a complete album recital of David Comes To Life . As touring commitments for [...]
Here's a glimpse around the blogosphere to hear what's happening in parts unknown, unboned and uncovered. - BigOZine has a nice sweet batch of tracks from a Graham Parker & The Rumour live show from NYC in 1988. - Well! Here's one rock band brand extension no one's thought of yet! Chicago pomp rockers Styx have teamed up with jewelry designer Diana Warner for a line of Styx-themed jewelry items. Each piece is hand-made in Diana Warner's New York City studio, with prices ranging from $55-$200. The first [...]
Most people associate Ben Cook with Fucked Up and the band's hardcore roots, but his side project Marvelous Darlings takes on a different light altogether. Throughout the last several years the band has released various singles and are now set to release a compilation of sorts combining all the music from those years. The collection is titled Single Life and will be out on November 22nd via Deranged Records . We've got the first track here to offer you, and it's [...]
Recommended Show: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2011 FUCKED UP & TITUS ANDRONICUS @ WARSAW 261 Driggs Ave Brooklyn, NY 11222 $16, 8PM Why does Warsaw seem like a more appropriate venue for Fucked Up ? We don't know. It does seem a little large for them, but it should still be a great show. Web We Wove & Borbetomagus @ Union Pool Youth Lagoon & Young Magic @ Mercury Lounge Fu Manchu, Honky, & Shrine @ Santos Party House Russian [...]
Frank Yang The last few years have seen a bit of a renaissance with respect to Francophone Canadian bands making inroads both in English-speaking Canada and internationally, thanks in no small part to there generally being at least one such act on every year's Polaris Music Prize shortlist. And circa 2009, I certainly expected Montreal's Béatrice Martin - aka Coeur de Pirate - to be leading the charge. Her 2008 self-titled debut made the long list that year, but hardly needed the boost - she was already a star in [...]
Recommended Show: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2011 FUCKED UP @ LE POISSON ROUGE 158 Bleecker St New York, NY 10012 It seems odd that Fucked Up are playing Le Poisson Rouge tonight. The venue just doesn't seem gritty enough for them. To make things weirder, Fucked Up will be performing an opera. Rev Vince Anderson @ Union Pool Josh Groban @ Madison Square Garden David Bazan & Golden Bloom @ Maxwell's Youth Lagoon & Young Magic @ Mercury Lounge Noel [...]
It's extremely gratifying to know that people like Todd Goldstein exist in the music industry. The former guitarist of NY institution, Harlem Shakes , has created an even better product in ARMS and has just released a wonderful new record, Summer Skills . We were thrilled to be able to talk to Todd about British rappers, the new record, and of course, hand claps. Why the band name ARMS? We imagine it was easier to search for in 2004 before the internet imploded… Back in 2004, when I first [...]
Marvelous Darlings is the side project from Ben Cook of Polaris -winning punk outfit Fucked Up . The album, Single Life , collects the band's singles and hard-to-impossible to find material, and is out November 22nd. It's definitely a more power pop approach. Check out the track " I Don't Wanna Go To The Party ".
