Hey hardcore fans, our pal Damian Abraham of Fucked Up is on the January / February’s cover of Spin Magazine!
The annual best-of issue declares Fucked Up’s album David Comes to Life the best album of the year. The personal and passionate rock opera in four acts portrays the anguish filled romance between David, a light bulb factory worker and Veronica, an activist. It received accolades from Pitchfork, Metacritic and The A.V. Club.

In other awesome news, he and his wife Lauren are expecting a second child! We anticipate the next few years will be filled with lots of love, wacky adventures and killer music.

Bad Mother author Ayelet Waldman said, “I think Mother’s Day is a marvelous holiday. Personally, I like to loll about in bed with the newspaper and a cup of tea. My only reservation about it is that being too spoiled on Mother’s Day does up the ante for Father’s Day, a holiday I find pointless in the extreme.” Read more...
