The Other Shoe - Fucked Up

[jwoahlnt]

love indie not of a fan of the oi oi oi scene but im fuckin dyin on the inside!!

[AngerlxlHouse]

For everyone who is confused on the bands genre, they're post punk with an old school hardcore influence. Notice how the instrumental side is comparable to that of Joy Division (Post-punk 1976-1980) and the vocals are raspy and aggressive and highly comparable to hardcore punk. If hipsters want to listen to this and label it "indie" (which is supposed to mean indepent from a record label, not some stupid sound) then fine, at least it is a band we punks can compromise on with you guys.

[LiftTheHaze]

18 people are dying on the inside

[cenasgay9111]

i like

[michalinchen]

Are there little teepees in the lightbulbs ? :)

[iwasbored1195]

Being a fan of both punk and indie rock, this album really stuck out to me this year. Good fucking shit.

[YouthClash]

@iwasbored1195 why don't you listen to end of a year and the saddest landscape as well

[raifyj]

The singer jumped off stage and gave me and m y mates a hug, then he took his top off and ran around the stadium It was mad! :)

[yodellikeyoumeanit09]

My roommate is always listening to this song, even when he doesn't want to

[1brokenarrow1]

i saw these guys live 2 nights ago and i cant stop listening to them! so good

[darylmain]

As a punk rock fan. Its not pure punk rock, nor is it indie/hip. Its a blend of both. My hipster friend showed me it. Its good background music. I can see its appeal to the indie kids and some punks. Cool idea on the band's part.

[thghs801]

i liked it before this dude started screaming. nice song except i;d like to p unch this guy so he'd quit and let the girl sing. 2.

[daedley]

@thghs801 they're a hardcore band and this is the way they want their singing, so fuck off

[Icansensefalure]

@thghs801 I liked ur coment till u said "screaming", I'd like to punch you in the face!

[iamjamesm]

@thghs801 please leave youtube and never come back

[G3GabeL]

@thghs801 what the other three dudes said. Screw you.

[AngerlxlHouse]

@thghs801 Hey... Shut up.

[CLSosa]

WFUV alternate side brought me here

[thedrurose]

My teacher played this in class a week ago and sense I cant stop listening to it

[WickedKnightAlbel]

Definitely a unique sound.

[sp101erinteddy]

I heard this on MTV today i dont usually watch mtv cuz i hate the music they play but im happy i watched it today or else i wouldnt know about this fucken dope band! :D this is some trippy shit!

[ymechaie]

this is the only hardcore song that actually makes me feel sad

[SMOGTREES]

in reference to those slandering the scream vocals on this track, they are tasteful and appropriate to the type of song the writers would like to convey. i'm a new listener to this band but the vocalist has shown integrity to the inner turmoil expressed in the song itself, and for that we should all be grateful. also, hail satan and smoke trees every day.

[VertrauDirSelbst]

@SMOGTREES I was gonna say "fag" but then that last sentence was funny :P

[cahross]

@SMOGTREES In what way is it tasteful or appropriate ?

[BSMitchell1]

@StableStatic And you just assume it's me because I use my real name?

[BSMitchell1]

Just discovered this band and Titus Andronicus the other day and I'm really loving both of them

[kalikovisionmaster]

@dontcareyourestupid I felt the exact same when I first listened to Chemistry of Modern Life. The screaming has definitely grown on me and I hope it does for you as well. Fucked Up is so incredible when you get into it.

[beersbongsandbabes]

Such an amazing band.

[jrdisill]

does anyone have the tabs to this song? im super curious about those chords, and cant finde em anywhere on the net... =/

[lisowski50]

I think that the combination of the different vocal styles is really enjoyable. I listen to like no Punk rock and am a hardcore indie fag, but this shit is good. haha

[TheDirectRevleation]

@lisowski50 As for I, I'm also an hardcore indie fag myself....

Props

[lukerr87]

I like the vocalist. He doesn't put me off at all, this is epic. I espeically love the lyrics on this record. Catchy too!

[JuliaHalfJew]

Thumbs if SPIN magazine brought you here!

[nilzardo]

Indie fags complaining about the vocals should just fuck off. I hate it when people do that shit.

[asdf331331]

I wouldn't mind the vocals if this was actual hardcore, but face it, they've strayed way too far from the genre to still be considered a part of it. I mean, I like this song and his voice doesn't bother me THAT much, but I'm having a hard time trying to listen to the whole album because the fact that he's screaming all the time makes every song sound the same.

[StupidSmartGuy]

@asdf331331

they're really awesome live though, man.

[ybrik222]

@asdf331331

They don't consider themselves as a part of the genre anymore. You should watch the video that goes along with this album (watch?v=3dYWof3QZbQ&feature=r­elated).

[joshwassup]

@asdf331331

no way in hell

[sycocoaster]

Once again, pitchfork proving they just have a hard-on for ambient music.

[LubricatedSquirm]

I don't get all the complaints about the vocals. Besides them not really being that extreme, it's a fucking punk rock band, what did you expect, Arcade Fire? Wish Pitchfork would just stick to reviewing shitty indie bands.

[Earthite]

Just read a piece about them in SPIN. I like!

[Lepio1]

I'm trying really hard to like this band and I think I'm actually starting to get over the vocals (I usually never listen to bands like this one)

[ryanglennmn]

Look.. maybe I don't get modern advertising, but I don't think that an ad for a diamond ring fits this video. Just saying hire me for your marketing. Also the irony of posting this for this song is funny!!!!!!!1111111111

[christietotheanna]

I think this song would be much more successful if they changed the vocals... I feel like his gravelly, Foo Fighters-ish gravelly voice doesn't suit their sweet guitars and melodic accompaniment? Just an opinion...

[kris242]

@christietotheanna

I have to disagree personally. I think his vocal style gives the otherwise calming music a nice edge. I think it sounds great and its a pretty creative and unexpected combo, although I understand that a lot of people don't really like the sound of screaming vocals. But hey, who says they even want to appeal to a large audience.

[azimuth457]

@kris242 I personally don't think that this music is particularly calming before any vocals come in...

[WeDieYoung1991]

@christietotheanna The vocals make this band, your just lost.

[tampamainstay1]

I listened to the album up to this song and really liked. And now i REALLY love it. God damn.

[TheInvisibleCollege]

Also, NOBODY FUCKS WITH PINK EYES

[Inn0centWhenYouDream]

@TheInvisibleCollege Except for Medicated Visine eye drops.

[TheInvisibleCollege]

Hell yes.

[nekken87]

I agree with the artwork, this is a very good idea..

[drlyoung910]

the guy howls like he has just been stabbed by the way thats a good thing in this situation FUCKED UP RULE!!!

[canadiangirl2907]

seeing them tomorrowww.

fuckin' eh.

[cortomaltes80]

This album is masterpiece, with all due respect to Husker Du-Zen Arcade but this is the best concept hard rock album i ever heard. Sure i don't considering albums like The Wall as hard rock.

[ifthisisaman]

is this gay punk - its a bit faggotty

[jinglebelly90]

So are these guys like a screamo revival band or something? I mean, real screamo hasn't been around for like a decade, if not longer. It would make chronological sense that "post screamo" begins now, right?

[WhenWhiteRabbitPeaks]

RAD! and i thought nothing could ever get better than Son the Father!!!

FUCKYEAH

[sebbster2000]

i love how people are complaining about his voice. the band is called fucked up. were you expecting justin beiber? ps. sick tune.

[watford4life]

His voice is awesome. End of.

[DunMeister]

Just got the vinyl yesterday. Happyface, indeed.

[hauntedXsnowfort]

awesome

[studiohry]

wah wah wah 'i tried to like this i tried so hard'

you don't try to like music, you either do or you don't. Idiots..

[wombat989]

@studiohry Thats a load of shit. You can try to like music. You find all the good points in it and weigh it up against the bad points. Then you keep trying to search for good points. Therefore you can try to like music. And don't call people idiots because they believe in something you don't. Idiot.

[liaquirk]

I almost like this, I want to like it, but I just can't.

Love her voice, love the guitar, hate his.

[francisqinho]

I'm all open to new styles of music but as of now the guy's voice just isn't cutting it for me. Really ruining an otherwise great song.

[bombproofpigeon]

I never really like this punk rock/metal, but fuck. This really opened my mind. This is really good. Considering buying the album.

[TheLiespro]

If I dont listen to this song I start to .. DIE ON THE INSIDE... DYING ON THE INSIDE!!!

Legendary!

[breachborn]

and it dropped down the last flight of stairs

AWESOMELY AWESOME

[2smilymike]

After listening to their interview on the Rock Show... genuinely excited about this album!

[iampoopman]

I tried reeeaallly hard to like this. But I just can't :(

[Zadican]

I just found a reason to like punk rock again

[MassimoConnolli]

it's like I've fallen in love with rock all over again

[orgonetrail]

sooooo excited

[whatthefk]

this song is amazing!

[Elektrokoustik]

Chemistry is amazing and I'm sure this will be as well!!

[yrureadingthisname]

So unbelievably good! I love music that makes me feel good on the inside.

[v2kv]

Already so much better than most of what's on Chemistry, imo. 

[Elektrokoustik]

@v2kv YOU ARE IGNORANT!!

[v2kv]

@Elektrokoustik

Huh?

[nofunman716]

@hotlinenumber

metric? no.

[nofunman716]

Best Single of 2011. Hands down..what a rager.

[hotlinenumber]

Metric with shouting

[chonkthykoo]

0 people are alive on the inside :(

[Saltthesoup]

oh .. i love it!!

[johnnyfest]

chick almost sounds like emily haines. anyone know who it is?

[sanxdimas]

@johnnyfest It's their bass player I'm pretty sure man

[TanksterX]

This album is going to be MASSIVE!!! Been ripping through the house with this, Cobra - 1234, and DFA all morning.

FUCK YEAH!!!

[fruitoftoday]

This is the first best single of 2011, and it's only taken 3 months, christ.

[cocksuckermichael]

I liked it before this dude started screaming. nice song except I'd like to punch this guy so he'd quit and let the girl sing.

[tomoftheblazer]

@cocksuckermichael I liked your comment before you said "this dude started screaming." I'd like to punch you in the face.

[bsjih]

@tomoftheblazer Maybe we can interest him in some ABBA?

[Mrkeez01]

@tomoftheblazer YESSS!!!!

[sanxdimas]

@cocksuckermichael LOL look up a photo of Damian and see if you'd like to second think that action.

[jandro]

@cocksuckermichael what a fucking faggot

[LaGreatChrisMaxie]

@cocksuckermichael Trollers gon' troll.

[shazaaammm]

@cocksuckermichael fuck you, leave life now

[TheTopMostDog]

@cocksuckermichael Tbh, I agree. :\

[kawsomesweet]

@cocksuckermichael Damn right you're a cocksucker buddy. At least you got something right.

[thychaos]

@cocksuckermichael maybe thats why youre a cocksucker. youre too feminine to take the harsh vocals.

[goatsbutter]

@cocksuckermichael he's the nicest guy alive and if you punched him he'd give you a deep talk on the importance of peace, give you a big hug and then you would go dedicate your life to peaceful activism.

[jessikt]

This is on the radio right now and I looked it up to see who it was and when I found out it was Fucked Up it became my new favourite song.

[mickinson]

@jessikt

So you're saying you base whether you actually like a track or not on who it's by? I heard this really sweet tune the other day, but then I checked and it turned out it was by R.E.M. and seeing as everybody knows who they are and loads of people like them I decided I hated it.

[jessikt]

@mickinson

Nah I just meant finding out that the really cool song that was playing on the radio was the new single from Fucked Up, who I already love, made it all the more awesome. :)

[lucky13biga]

i didn't find the lyrics :(

anybody?

[metallica111122]

fucked up

[albrechtwenzel]

22tracks.com anybody? :)

[TheBloodyUdall]

[SaintChristobel]

[Dimebag223]
