cj Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Fucked Up was chosen as the winner of Canada's Polaris Prize for top album. Its Canada's version of the UK's Mercury Prize. It was awarded yesterday. Pretty happy they won and not another Arts and Crafts band. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/09/fucked_up_win_2.html Congratulations Fucked Up!!!

monk0nuggets Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Kind of blows my mind a band with the name Fucked Up can win something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Kind of blows my mind a band with the name Fucked Up can win something like this. i know what you mean, but i think its a good thing that voters could get over it and vote for the best album. theres another canadian band called holy fuck and they were nominated for a Juno (canada's grammy) for best alternative album. that was fun because the media went crazy with the name. another great band though.
