What, exactly, is so fucked up about Fucked Up? Is it the band name? Sure, if you're trying to write a piece on the band for NPR and you can't even use their f***ing name. Is it Damian Abraham's voice? Maybe, if the phrase "titanic, earth-shattering roar" fills you with dread. Is it the music?

As mentioned on multiple occasions, David Comes To Life is a great album — one of the year’s best — and a more-than-decent “Rock Opera.” Read up on the characters and storyline while you stream the entire thing at NPR. David Comes To Life is out 6/7 via Matador.

Fucked Up’s released the second of four digital singles from their forthcoming 18-song “rock opera” David Comes To Life. It’s a bit more FU-like than the Brit Pop-influenced (and totally enjoyable) first single, “The Other Shoe.” This one works, too. Listen:Fucked Up – ...
