    Fucked Up

    Fucked Up is a Canadian hardcore punk band from Toronto, Ontario, formed in 2001.[3] The band


    consists of Damian Abraham (vocals), Mike Haliechuk (guitar, vocals), Josh Zucker (guitar), Ben
    Cook (guitar, vocals), Sandy Miranda (bass) and Jonah Falco (drums, vocals).
    To date the band has released five studio albums, alongside several EPs, singles, and companion
    releases. The band won the 2009 Polaris Music Prize for their second studio album, The Chemistry
    of Common Life. In 2018, the band released its fifth studio album, Dose Your Dreams, after a hiatus.
    Driven by Haliechuk, it is a concept album focusing on the band's recurring character David, and
    featuring several guest lead vocalists, alongside Abraham, Falco, and Haliechuk.
    The band formed and played their first shows in early 2001. The initial practicing lineup consisted of
    10,000 Marbles (Mike Haliechuk, lead guitar), Concentration Camp (Josh Zucker, rhythm guitar,
    vocals), Mustard Gas (Sandy Miranda, bass guitar) and Chris Colohan (of Left For Dead/The Swarm
    fame, who was lead vocalist for Cursed). Just prior to recording their demo tape, Concentration
    Camp concentrated on guitar duties and vocal duties were taken over from Colohan by Pink Eyes
    (Damian Abraham, also known as Mr. Damian). Drums were played by Mr. Jo (Jonah Falco, also
    credited as G. Beat or J. Falco).
    Following the release of the demo, the band embarked on a long series of 7" records. The band
    released the "No Pasaran" 7" in May 2002. The Police 7" was released on March 2003,[4] quickly
    followed the Baiting the Public 7" in May 2003. Two more 7"'s followed in 2004, the Dance of
    Death single, and the Litany 4-song ep. The vinyl releases to this point were collected on
    2004s Epics in Minutes CD. The band was the subject of a two-minute 16 mm film showing its links
    to the Toronto hardcore scene, a local infoshop and punk radio show.
    The band's use of imagery and symbolism (notable the use of Sigils) took a decided turn after the
    release of Epics in Minutes, as it was followed by two limited 12"s, the Looking for Gold 12", and the
    live Let Likes be Cured by Likes 12". The Looking for Gold 12" contained no liner notes or credits, no
    song titles, and a hidden track. It was self-released by the band in 2004 in two limited runs of 300
    and 400 copies. The title track was 16 minutes long, used 18 guitar tracks, had a three-minute drum
    solo and contained 5 minutes of whistling.
    In the summer of 2004 the band released the Generation 7" and 12" eps. After touring for most of
    2005 the band took on David Eliade as a quasi-full-time manager/promoter. In early 2006 Eliade
    began shopping demos of songs from the planned Hidden World album to labels, ending with the
    band signing to Jade Tree Records for an early fall 2006 release of the album. Jade Tree is
    distributed by Touch & Go which in turn has a distribution agreement with ADA (Warner Music
    Group). Jade Tree licensed the vinyl version to Deranged Records, which released it as a double
    album in November 2006.
    Several other records, such as Year of the Dog 12" were released, before the band went on the
    European tour, visiting England, Germany and Spain, among other places. January 16, 2007
    marked the band's live television debut on MTV Live, where they were introduced as "Effed Up".

     During their performance of their song "Baiting the Public", the majority of the audience
    were moshing and causing damage to the set (also visible was a cut on Damian's forehead),
    resulting in a sum of $2,000 in damages. This performance sparked controversy and resulted in
    MTV Canada banning moshing from future MTV Live performances.[6]
