While Canadian punk provocateurs Fucked Up play aggressive and incendiary music, that’s hardly where their desire to stir up trouble begins and ends. The group stray far from the standard template of the four-four punk stomp, incorporating extended instrumental workouts, unusual arrangements, and lengthy experimental passages with furious guitars and ranting vocals and no reluctance to embrace other genres and influences along the way. On record, Fucked Up have paid homage to pioneering anarchist movements and creative and political troublemakers of all stripes, integrating startling historical photos in their artwork, embracing elements of obscure mysticism, and adding complex narrative lines to challenge and confront their audiences.
