Maybe I've been listening to too much Bon Iver, okay there's not a doubt I've been listening to too much Bon Iver, Andrew Bird, PB&J, M.Ward and lots more seriously "pretty" rock/folk lately. So when I first heard about Fucked Up (on a pitchfork best of '08 list I believe) as a punk/hardcore outfit with early smashing pumpkins-esque guitar overdubs (allegedly fu averages something silly like 70 per track) with loud/quiet/loud bossanova-era Pixies Rawk with Cookie Monster/Motorhead vocals screaming lyrics like "it's hard enough being born in the first place/why would I want to be born again?" I thought to myself holy shit! and was not disappointed. This is my new favorite shit to rock out on a crowded f train or am otherwise in danger of like a commuter robot in a suit . Highly recommended when you need some RAWK.
