[Mango Kid]

Not sure if you all saw this, but here's what appears in their liner notes of their new CD...

[Ladies Love Julius James]

^ Actually Fucked Up are pretty huge and won the Polaris prize for best music of the year in Canada.

[Afra]

They are probably secret Columbus supporters.

[Gixmo]

Sounds like someone wasn't loved by their parents & resents it..

[Mango Kid]

I've gotta say, I wish our finishing was as clinical as their finish was in that blurb.

I hope they're better at song-writing than band-naming.

Apologies to any fans, but hardcore punk is more up its own ass than any other genre out there. I doubt anyone really cares what a band called Fucked Up thinks.

And according to wiki, one of the guys from the band is a regular on some show on Fox News... classy.

[nobodybeatsthewiz]

fucked up is awesome.......one of the best live shows ive seen in many many yrs, and going back for a second helping at the end of february at the opera house. dont take it so personally, part of what they do is slag others.

and I AM CANADIAN......do your research, damien abraham (aka pink eyes) IS a regular guest on fox news' late nite show red eye but if you watch the clips, damien and the band are very staunch left-wingers and he was at first mistakenly put on thinking he was pro-republican, which he is not......but he was a much better guest than any of their prior ones that they asked him back (even though he's not a republican).

man, we tfc fans are fukking sissys.......comon lads/lasses, obviously people DO care what a band called fucked up thinks if knickers are getting in severely knotted twists.

A fucking men Neil. I remember this song and I remember that the majority of the people who heard it had a laugh about it.

It's a song. It's punk. Who gives a flying fuck what they say or don't say about TFC or anyone else for that matter?

They make pretty damn good punk IMO, and most punk is aimed at making fun of, or pointing out the errors of others.

[rocker]

this band is as bad as Adam Braz trying to cover Jozy Altidore in a night game at BMO field in 2007.

[Hitcho]

Is there anything in the song to piss off TFC fans, or did some numpty just get pissy about the choice of song title for no good reason? Because if they did, then the band have every right to point out what a pissy, whinging thing that was to do. And I support them. If anything, I think it's kind of cool there's a song named TFC. Especially since we're still basically not on the radar of most people in the GTA.

[Red Baron]

is it better than the Barenaked ladies song?

[Shaughno]

^^ If you like punk.. and I don't mean poppy bullshit, they are quite good.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

great hardcore band, great dudes, great song
I bought a copy of the song on ebay, even the drummer hasnt got a copy hahaha

I remember when this came out. Most (and I stress that word) people on here were amused by it and that's about it.

A very vocal few (which may have been the same vocal few on other supporter/fan boards) bitched and complained that Fucked Up were trying to get some popularity on the backs of the new Toronto team.

I also might be wrong, but I seem to recall the single coming out before any TFC games were actually played.

as previously mentioned in the article, its not actually about TFC

what do they say about publicity. There is no such thing as bad publicity....we're talkin bout them they're talkin bout us .....love it all....the machine is workin...everyone is trying to make a living

agreed, jay, they are of absolutely NO consequence to our team, our support, our players, any of it.

have we become this sensitive and soft to the point where everyone else has to walk on eggshells around TFC fans? i sure as hell hope not but it seems that train has already left town.

[MUFC_Niagara]

yawn....

Hardcore punk is not the only punk- I hope that by 'poppy bullshit' you don't mean 'not featuring screaming.'

Never heard anything by this band, but names chosen purely for shock value and/or to sound badass get a thumbs down from me.

[Canadian Blue]

I find you guys that are pissed off funny..........I don't care what the band said (even though it is true) I am more bothered that some once again "holier than thou" TFC supported most likely from this very group thought that group would actually give a shit about what he/she thought. Next thing you know there will be a protest against people who are not TFC supporters wearing red on gameday.....or any day for that matter

[Roogsy]

I have no idea what this thread is about. Who are these guys and which fan got uppity about the team?

And CB...why you gotta take a dig at this group once again? Was it really someone from RPB that said something about this band or are you just stirring shit up?

It's mostly those of us who haven't been here for 3-4 years....people who don't remember the porn boards.

Which, unfortunately, is most of us.

[Roogsy]

Any publicity is good publicity I say. Dunno what prompted them to say what they did but any little bit helps!

lol... Seriously? Come on.. Trying to stir the pot once more?

For the record, I could care less - The band Wiki says enough for me
