Let's Bring David Back to Life

Alright, so people keep asking me what the deal is with the band Fucked Up (for my mother's sake, we shall sensor. so rock 'n roll!!!) SPIN named David Comes to Life the best album of 2011 and I can see why- in its entirety, the 78-minute rock opera is insanely cohesive, with each song having its own twist while still overflowing with the gut-wrenching punk that makes this band so electrifying. The album tells the story of David and a woman who fall in love and plan to build a bomb together. However, throughout this four-act tale, David battles with the narrator about the plot, points of view are constantly shifting, and while you're trying to follow this enticing story, you find yourself distracted by the impudent, rowdy melodies that make the album a masterpiece.

Here is the first song I heard off the album and the one that got me hooked. If punk and indie had a baby, it would be this bad boy.
