“I think it would be hard to do another Fucked Up, but ultimately the goal for us being in a band is to inspire people”

This week we are talking to Toronto’s Mike Haliechuk, founder of noise-inks Fucked Up. During our conversation Mike takes into his thought process behind recording an album in just 24 hours, what the state of punk and hardcore music is in a volatile market and we get to hear what Mike thinks Fucked Up would be if Fucked Up were a shoe…yes, we ask the difficult questions here on RTL Today Radio. Mike is generous, thoughtful and incredibly proud of what his band has achieved over the last two decades and what they hope to say with new record One Day. Fittingly, this is part one of two.
