Can Fucked Up do any wrong? Damian Abrahams took almost no time at all to jump into the crowd and get everyone singing along in the circle pit. Their hardcore gait with shoegaze-y guitars are just as good live as they are recorded. What’s more is Abrahams’ demeanor is so down to earth and all about making friends with Fucked Up’s fans, and they were clearly happy to be there. Cheers, Fucked Up!
