Fucked up was awarded Canada’s prestigious Polaris Prize yesterday, which is given every year to a Canadian artist or band. The jury found the band’s 2008 album, Chemistry Of Common Life, to be not only the best hardcore album of the year and the best Canadian album, but also the best album in world. Admittedly, it is a really good album. It’s a hardcore album, yes, but it’s easily digested for those not used to the genre.
Congrats to Fucked Up! I hope you spend your $20,000 on something nice. Like another good record. Or a craging party.
UPDATE: The band plans on using the money to raise awareness about missing aboriginal women! Cool!
