Song of the Day 7/23/10

Fucked Up - Year of the Ox

Click here to listen to "Year of the Ox"

The latest entry in Fucked Up's Chinese New Year 12" series might be their best one yet. "Year of the Ox" punches, and it punches hard. But even with it's standard hardcore moments, the song jumps on the experimental side with an extended, almost post-rock intro, beautiful violin solos, and even vocal appearances from Zola Jesus. Fucked Up have come a long way, and their consistency matched with their continuing development might rank them as one of the premier hardcore bands out there.
