Fucked Up formed in Toronto, Ontario in 2001, and are currently comprised of band members who all use pseudonyms: Pink Eyes (aka Father Damien), 10,000 Marbles, Concentration Camp, Mustard Gas, Young Governor and Mr. Jo (aka Guinea Beat). After countless limited edition singles, eps, legendary live shows and collaboration appearances, the band became the first "hardcore punk" artist to grace the cover of NME. Fresh off the Matador Records released The Chemistry of Common Life, and singles compilation Couple Tracks, the band recently won the 2009 Canadian Polaris Music Prize.
