Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

Canadian post-hardcore-rock warriors FUCKED UP had a very productive last year with no less than 4 LPs centered around the same theme, Year Of The Horse, and a couple of EPs.

And no rest for the wicked (yet). At the start of this year they had another longplayer
out, titled One Day, recorded in 24 hours, followed by a new EP and a couple of covers

And the hit team just dropped another clamorous haymaker, named SHOW FRIENDS.

Damian Abraham: “This is a song about the complex relationships people can wind up
having with music and the music business. It’s a very conditionally loving business, with all
sorts of metrics and benchmarks you need to hit to deserve love. The lyrics are me reflecting back on one of the low times in the band and realizing that I’m not really mentally cut out for this vocation. What happens when the thing you have based your life around starts eating you alive?

I wanted it to have the feel of a mid-tour fever dream, replete with: anxiety, exhaustion, temporal dysplasia, and the flood of past wrongs and wrongings. I had written the lyrics
during the One Day session but couldn’t get it to come together like it sounded in my head. Jonah and I dusted it off and hacked away at it in my basement until it felt right.”

TUTV: My ears hear the pounding explosiveness of immortal punk
icons The Clash. Frantic, fierce, fervent and wholly fucked up of course.
