Fucked Up

[Jazzkokehead]

Hard to believe there's no thread about Canada's preeminent hardcore punksters. Dose Your Dreams is kind of a masterpiece of an album. And if you can't make time to listen to it: what are you even doing with your life? This record touches upon disco, alt rock, shoegaze, industrial, pop... if you can't find a single song you don't like, your ears may be broken.

Edit: they are probably only Canada's second best punk band, because Nomeansno exists.

Saw this band at the Pemberton festival in 2014.
One of my really good friends' cousin's is in this band.

This somehow flew under my radar for a few days, but Fucked Up released the latest installment of their zodiac series with Year of the Horse (https://fuckedup.bandcamp.com/album/year-of-the-horse) this past Friday. And boy, this shit is... something else. With 4 tracks spread out over 90 minutes (the shortest song here is 19 minutes), this is definitely not a release for the faint of heart. Complete with a 70's prog rock-esque storyline about a horse living in a fantasy world, I guess? But that's the exact kind of ambitious weirdness that I love.

Pre-ordered a copy on vinyl (but was unfortunately not early enough to score one of the super-cool splatter variants).
