Now The1stFive is reporting that Fucked Up recently tapped Ben Gibbard, Ted Leo, and Mountain Goats to help them lay down tracks for a “7-inch comprised entirely of ‘cleaned up’ GG Allin covers.” The compilation was curated by New Jersey-based non-commercial radio station, WFMU, and is available by making a pledge during the 52-year-old station’s upcoming fundraising drive, which runs from February 28-March 13.
If you’re not the type that supports local, community-based radio, then you can still get pumped up for the release of Fucked Up’s forthcoming studio album – David Comes To Life – by copping a 12-inch live release titled Coke Sucks. The title refers to frontman Damian Abraham’s disdain for Coca-Cola (apparently he’s a Pepsi fan), and the record is being released in a rainbow of colors: Red, black-and-white, salmon, gold, clear, to name a few.
Orders ship on March 10th and are available via Chunklet. David Comes To Life still doesn’t have a release date, but you can try for a copy of the GG Allin covers 7-inch by checking out the full details and making a pledge to WFMU here.
