There has been a lot of buzz about Fucked Up’s recent performance for MTV Canada. How they apparently caused $2,000 dollars worth of damage and how they have been banned from MTV because of it. Whether or not they have, in fact, been banned, I see this is a pretty significant event (like most things Fucked Up is doing these days). The broadcast on the media conglomerate that has become more known for whiny 16-year-olds and what they get for their “sweet sixteen,” is probably the most visceral experience the network has aired since the early 90s. If only we could get this kind of stuff on the American version.

Fucked Up’s performance reminded in a way of Fear’s appearance on SNL. If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to watch it below. The picture is a tad scratchy but you can still see the audience pummeling each other and parts of the venue flying around. I really hope someone gets the whole video up soon because the band was supporting Henry Rollins for the broadcast.
