Hidden World

FUCKED UP‘s first release for Jade Tree is cloaked in shades of unconventional aesthetics, symbolic overtones and a self-proclaimed “culture of confusion.” Hidden World, the band’s first full length studio album, marks a turning point for the mysterious Toronto band, transcending the boundaries of punk with melody, aggression, expansive structures and enigmatic diatribes on what lies underneath the immediate, visualized world. FUCKED UP combine confrontational ideologies with deliberate misinformation to produce a brutal analysis on thought provocative punk. In a word, FUCKED UP and Hidden World is dangerous and unpredictable in a time when punk has become a manufactured commodity.

After a series of EPs and seven-inches, this post-hardcore, Jade Tree-signed punk band unleashes its excellent debut. Final Fantasy provides the string arrangements.

Clearly aiming for that all-important Radio Disney demographic, the full-length debut by experimental Toronto punks Fucked Up follows several years' worth of deliberately provocative singles and EPs.
