Today the Toronto band Fucked Up dropped the track Found
The second single is taken from the band’s upcoming sixth album of the same name on January 27, 2023 via Merge Records.
Another straight forward intense hard rocking tune!
About the track from Fucked Up:
“Found challenges listeners to open up to the possibilities for love”
Mike Haliechuk who is the guitarist & songwriter used to live on Davenport Road, which is one of the oldest streets in North America, and has been a First Nations trail for thousands of years, running along the north shore of Lake Iroquois, which receded after the last ice age.
Just to the east was Taddle Creek, which was buried underground during the 19th century to build the streets he walked on.
He thought about gentrification a lot, watching little stores get swallowed up by big buildings until he realized he is one of those big buildings. The name of the song comes from the Shadi Bartsch translation of The Aeneid, where she points out that the words “found” and “stab” open and close the book, which are two meanings for the same Greek verb. That discovery is actually conquest, and that settlement is always violence.
And that any story he tried to tell myself about the place he found to live can only be a story to justify the expansion of one people across the world of another.
