Fucked Up
are a great punk band who have devoted a lot of time and energy to challenging the assumptions of what a punk band can be. Albums like 2008's
The Chemistry of Common Life
, 2011's
David Comes to Life
, and 2018's
Dose Your Dreams
were uncommonly ambitious and stylistically diverse, as imaginative and inventive as anything to come from a so-called hardcore band since the glory days of the
Minutemen
and
Hüsker Dü
. They've even challenged the conventions of record-making, writing and recording the entirety of 2023's
One Day
within the space of 24 hours. Having accomplished all that,
can be forgiven for relaxing a bit and enjoying the sonic comfort food that is fast, loud punk rock, and 2024's
Another Day
is the most straightforward and muscular LP they have delivered in a very long time. These tunes have plenty of loud guitars, crashing drums, and an abundance of grainy shouting from lead singer and lyricist
Damian Abraham
, with his bandmates shouting along in support, and not a great deal in the way of sonic experimentation -- for these sessions,
were happy to just play some loud rock & roll, and it sounds like they're reveling in it. That said, one of the biggest reasons they were able to get away with some of their more grandiose concepts is they're clearly a very intelligent group, and even when they're treading relatively familiar ground,
sounds every bit as smart as they're capable of being. The songs take agile twists and turns, the guitar interplay between
Mike Haliechuk
Josh Zucker
is satisfying and makes room for far more than the traditional four/four downstroke, and bassist
Sandy Miranda
and drummer
Jonah Falco
power this music with muscle and panache. And if the mix doesn't always put
Abraham
's vocals front and center, making it something of a challenge to understand all the lyrics, what's audible hits an admirable balance between rage and hope; when he sings, "the world is full of strife, but you fight to find the joy before they bring up the house lights," don't be surprised if you start shouting along. Even at their most modest and straightforward,
are a band good enough to make you believe punk can still make a difference, and
is wild, invigorating proof. ~ Mark Deming
