Canada’s Fucked Up have named their new record, as well as announcing a few of their own headline shows to blot around the edges of their forthcoming tour with Gallows.
Year of the Pig is, typically enough, an “18 minute 34 second long prog-punk masterpiece”, 500 copies of which will be released into the UK wilderness on the 25th of February by those ecosystem saboteurs at Vice.
The release is backed by ‘Black Hats’ and is only available on 12”.
Those headline dates, in addition to these previously announced shows with Gallows:
February
14 London Barfly
17 Southampton Joiners
25 Brighton Engine Rooms
28 Sheffield the Corporation
March
1 Kingston Fighting Cocks

re; Year Of The Pig - i believe the 12" was released in limited quantities in the US last year (my American flatmate picked up a copy on his last trip to the States)
but this will be the first UK release
Nice One
Hidden World was killer! I can imagine them confusing the Gallows crowd a fair bit...
to be fair...
...Fucked Up and Gallows have shared stages before, albeit prior to Frank and co's crossover success
Christmas 2006 at the Old Blue Last was especially memorable: Gallows opened, then Fucked Up played two sets and there was a festive snow machine!
Love Hidden World and Epics in Minutes
...just about to buy a ticket for The Joiners.
this^
deifnitely be at the joiners for this
Oh.
Selectadisc in Nottingham had this in stock a few months ago. I guess they imported it. Fantastic record!
Those 14+ shows will Gallows are going to be hilarious.
Yay
<3 Fucked Up
Year of the Pig is awesome - I think Rough Trade have copies of it still. That's where I got it from.
