Fucked Up - Year of the Pig

Toronto's Fucked Up tore asunder the bonds of hardcore punk with last year's limited-edition 12" Year Of The Pig. Released on highly collectable Brooklyn label What's Your Rupture?, the title track is 18 minutes of pure fury and disgust. The fury is for the meat industry and corporate hypocrisy. The disgust is ultimately for ourselves and our own lifestyles of excess and consumption. The pig at the trough, pushing aside his fellow-creatures in his greed for more food, will ultimately be food too. With this EP, Fucked Up have broken out of the hardcore ghetto and rewritten the rules of the genre.
