Fucked Up review.


Without a shadow of doubt Fucked Up are easily the band of the moment, true defenders of the faith. I saw them support Gallows last year in Nottingham and I had never heard of them, from that moment on they were my new favourite band. Some of the tracks on the album Epics In Minutes were fantastic but Hidden World was something totally different, from start to finish it was pure class. There was something in every song that made me want to jump out of my chair and throw my fist in the air, truly amazing. Truly inspirational. I've only had their latest album The Chemistry Of Common Life just under a week and I've only managed to listen to it twice to and from work and it's growing on me already, at first I wasn't too keen but now it's not far behind Hidden World in terms of brilliance. Stand out tracks are Son The Father and Black Albino Bones. Now all I need to do now is to convince my friends.

Start.

Blah blah blah...this is new and stuff. Hopefully if I get my fat backside off the sofa I'm going to bring you reviews, news, events around Leicester and other stuff too. That's about it for now.

...Shit I'm no good at this blog business.
