About
F**KED UP IN CONCERT:
F**ked Up have backed up their attention-grabbing name with some seriously aggressive punk since they formed in 2001. Propulsive favorites like "Crooked Head," "Paper the House," and "Queen of Hearts" deliver distorted riffs and hard-hitting drums that transform into raging epics in concert with mind-blowing extended instrumental workouts. Growling vocalist Damian Abraham takes things up a notch when he hurls himself into the mosh pit – turning ticket buyers into disciples as they join in on the anthemic choruses. F**ked Up's envelope-pushing, in-your-face performances go beyond the typical punk rock concert experience, and hardcore fans love taking part in the pandemonium.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Just like many of their punk rock forbearers, Toronto's F**ked Up built their reputation on the back of small shows and regional touring for their first five years. They released a prolific run of singles on small record labels during that time before dropping their full-length debut Hidden World in 2006. The following year they made their first televised appearance with a furious performance of "Baiting the Public" on Canada's MTV Live, and in 2009 their sophomore album The Chemistry of Common Life earned the prestigious Polaris Prize – an annual honor awarded to the best Canadian album by a panel of more than 200 journalists, broadcasters, and bloggers. They continued to expand their artistic horizons with David Comes to Life in 2011 – an 18-song concept album that also won critical praise – and they show no signs of letting up as they deliver more passionate performances and impressive recorded output, including 2014's Glass Boys.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Wavves and Fucked Up were just great.
by BeckyBowman on 9/26/11Webster Hall - New YorkBoth bands are fundamentally fantastic and did a great job translating their energy into a live performance. The crowd was hella energetic, mirroring the bands. Loved every minute, and was lucky enough to be at the gate.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Fucked Up at the Royale - Awesome!
by cmclinden on 6/27/11Royale Boston - BostonThe show was wonderful. Fucked up put on a great performance and the two opening acts were good too. The band was very accommodating to stage diving, moshing, and even took part in it themselves, which made for a very exciting show! The only downside is that the Royale's shows are so early - doors at 5:30, show done by 9:30pm - because they want to be able to open the venue up for the club scene at night. Kind of lame. Other than that, a great time!

by Anonymous on 6/27/11Royale Boston - BostonThe show was great and would have been even better if I didn't have to buy tickets from Ticketmaster and pay their outrageous service fees.
