Damien Abraham, the band\u2019s lead vocalist, was bloody and sweat-drenched in the band\u2019s early years and he remains an electro-magnetic presence today, prowling the stage and growling like an attack dog. But since forming in Toronto twenty-two years ago, Fucked Up have mutated and evolved at Abraham\u2019s back. Led by guitarist and primary songwriter Mike Haliechuk, they\u2019ve grown more ambitious with each passing release. They unexpectedly burst into semi-mainstream consciousness with the meta-textual hardcore punk-opera <i>David Comes to Life<\/i> in 2011, but that was just the beginning of their audaciousness. They released the ninth installment in their Zodiac <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a> \u2014 a record for each of the years in the Chinese zodiac \u2014 in 2021. It was an almost absurdly vast thing: a wonderful, proggy concept album stacked with guest features, indecipherable plot twists, and detours into folk and funk.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            In that sense, their new album, <i>One Day<\/i>, could be considered a back-to-basics project. Haliechuk wrote and recorded the album in secret in a day \u2014 split across three eight-hour sessions. He then passed it off to his bandmates with the remit that they, too, limit themselves to a 24-hour window to write and record their parts alone. Abraham wrote lyrics again \u2014 the first time he\u2019s done so, with one exception, since Fucked Up\u2019s 2014 LP, <i>Glass Boys<\/i>. Abraham snarls about gentrification and fatherhood, and the one song that Haliechuk sings, \u201cCicada,\u201d is about the very real grief of seeing friends pass away and trying to carry their legacies forward. There are no unreliable narrators fighting for supremacy here, no psychedelic dreams.<\/p>\n<p>            But <i>One Day<\/i> is still a huge-sounding album. Fucked Up are as intense as they were in their early days and as gloriously melodic with their power-pop guitar lines as they have been ever since <i>David<\/i>. They sound, above all, vital. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            When I spoke to Abraham and Haliechuk the other week, they represented the two poles of the band with an almost comic perfection: Abraham, the bombastic punk archivist with his own podcast and an unimaginably large record collection, was an open book. He riffed on punk history and let slip that the band already had another LP with the same process \u2014 it\u2019s called <i>Another Day<\/i> \u2014 ready to go. Haliechuk, the unrelenting songwriter, went deeper into his and the band\u2019s process and his constant need to keep writing. And he also got mad that Abraham kept talking about <i>Another Day<\/i>, which the band isn\u2019t supposed to mention yet.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-242005\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/6A5A8009-sized_m8xawy\/damian-abraham.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Fucked Up revisit the real world\"><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n      Damian Abraham<br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><br \/>\n      \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>      Jeaninne Kaufer<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-242006\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <i>This Q&amp;A is taken from the latest episode of The FADER Interview.

Plus, then you have to get the person who&#8217;s recording it to sit with you for a full day. So I just thought of a way to make it as close to that as possible, and we ended up with three days. It was pretty strict. I didn&#8217;t have a stopwatch, but I was counting the minutes in those first sessions.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Why do this, especially given the sort of grandeur and sprawling nature conceptually of other Fucked Up records?<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <mh:><i>Year of the Horse<\/i> took six years. <i>Ghost of Dreams<\/i> took two. It was set up as a convention this time: \u201cWhat if we could make a record in a day?\u201d That&#8217;s how you become a band, right? You have a certain amount of time to make a seven-inch, usually a half a day. All your greatest ideas as a punk band come when you&#8217;re a kid and you have those time limits because you have to go play a show or you can&#8217;t afford to spend two years in the studio. That&#8217;s when you make your best records. So I was like, \u201cWhat if we only had a couple minutes to make this?

We had finished a tour cycle and I was gonna take a break from doing music, and that lasted for a week. I had to do something with my hands\u2026 and I just made it. I told Jonah he wasn&#8217;t allowed to even listen to it before he started playing drums \u2014 not to be a dick about it, just to give the musicians the same pure experience of writing I had.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>DA:<\/b> [After the tour], we were very fed up with each other.

I appreciated the opportunity to get to write a record again. And with the pandemic coming as I was starting to write, it felt like it was gonna be the last time I recorded because it hardcore and punk and music in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> might not come back. <\/p>\n<p>            There was a fatalism to it this time that wasn&#8217;t the self-imposed fatalism I had on <i>Glass Boys<\/i>. I was very entitled to being a musician and living this lifestyle when we were doing <i>Glass Boys<\/i>. I think a lot of it was born out of paranoia and dark thoughts about what it meant to be a musician and \u201cselling out\u201d and legacy and all these sorts of things that are non-essential to the human experience. As much as [<i>One Day<\/i> is] fatalist about where the world is, there&#8217;s also a lot of joy, because it\u2019s also about loving my kids and struggling to be a good dad \u2014 things that <i>are<\/i> essential to my human experience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <b>Mike, your parts were recorded and conceived of before lockdown, but this album couldn&#8217;t really exist without the lockdowns and without the pandemic. There are only a handful of bands who\u2019ve really embraced that remote style of recording, staying out the studio and doing things separately. It feels like a product of that time.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>MH:<\/b> That&#8217;s how Fucked Up has recorded for 10 years. I haven&#8217;t been in a session with Damien since <i>David<\/i>. I&#8217;m not allowed to go to Sandy&#8217;s bass sessions. Me and Jonah do a lot of stuff together, and Josh, he does it on its own or he just skips it.

But before that, it was <i>Glass Boys<\/i> \u2014 I\u2019d said everything I wanted to say,  laid it all out to bear. When we started writing <i>Dose Your Dreams<\/i>, the lyrics I wrote were really bad. I was doing a wrestling TV show, I was raising the kids. I was so checked out. <i>Dose<\/i> is such a beautiful record because Mike just took it and wrote everything and carried the creative side of the band on his back\u2026 which is how the band started, before I was even in the band.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Did you collectively make the decision that Damien would write lyrics for this one?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>DA:<\/b> It was always on the table.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <b>MH:<\/b> My default is to split it.

Next record, there might be guest vocalists, but it feels like Fucked Up&#8217;s evolved to the point where it&#8217;s like\u2026 This is Fucked Up: It&#8217;s Mike and I writing songs together. It&#8217;s Jonah and Mike working on these songs. It&#8217;s Sandy writing her parts. It&#8217;s Josh coming in and doing what he wants.

I think people are thinking it&#8217;s me singing about being fed up with punk rock myself. No, I love punk rock. I&#8217;m more committed to being in this band now than ever.

We&#8217;re not really the purveyors of anything. We\u2019re reacting to stuff we listened to when we were 15 years old that came out in the &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s.

We started as a very strict project where our records were based on literally one label \u2014 that was our ideal, to make records that look like they&#8217;re on Danger House. But then we admitted that we all listened to tons of different music, and why wouldn&#8217;t we want that to show up in the music we make?<\/p>\n<p>            <b>DA:<\/b> What\u2019s amazing to me is watching the continuity in the history of punk. You can see how it all connects, and I feel really blessed to be a part of that. That was the only goal we had when we started this band. Mike and I, at that time, were in punk rock school intensively. We would go to the music library at the University of Toronto and find old music books about different scenes and pore over them.

To me, Quicksand is one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time, and [not just because they] inspired Dallas Green and all these different people. They&#8217;re also the band that inspired Jamie Hatebreed to form Hatebreed because he hated them so much. He thought it was terrible that they were considered a hardcore band.

The legend was that they knew nothing about each other. They would get together and practice five hours a week and then go home and live their separate lives. At shows, they&#8217;d play one hour straight through, no stops. So when Fucked Up started, we wouldn&#8217;t stop. We&#8217;re a band that\u2019s  living that life, but we don&#8217;t have those five-hour jam sessions to catch up on what the plan is, so this is how we&#8217;re catching up on the plan.

Mine is to get into panic situations and [go] panic-mode extrovert; I go on stage, and I&#8217;m basically having this weird panic attack. And Mike&#8217;s is to close off. And that dictates our way that we approach the band. I want to be as open as possible, and Mike wants to keep it all close to the chest, and that&#8217;s the duality that is Fucked Up.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Alex Robert Ross<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
