NOW Magazine 40 at 40: Fucked Up reflect on the time they could have been huge After a decade, the Toronto hardcore band looks back at David Comes To Life – an album that nearly propelled them to arena rock status By Richard Trapunski Photos by Kathryn Gaitens There was a moment in 2011 when it felt like Fucked Up would become one of the biggest bands in the world. That’s the year the Toronto six-piece appeared on the cover of NOW Magazine, part of a media blitz for their third full-length album, David Comes To Life. That album – a massive-sounding punk rock opera that was ambitious even for them – is turning 10, and the band is celebrating with an anniversary tour in which they’ll play the whole thing in full. That includes two hometown shows at the Great Hall on February 4 and 5 – a benefit for the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (tickets for night one are still available via Not Dead Yet).
