Fucked Up Win 2009 Polaris Prize
Fucked Up’s The Chemistry of Common Life captured the 2009 Polaris Prize for Best Canadian album and winning the $20,000 prize that comes with it. Good news but I do feel bad for Chad VanGaalen losing out with his excellent alum – Soft Airplane.
I didn’t provide as much coverage as I did last year regarding the Polaris Prize, I was kind of meh to the idea but maybe next year. Anyway Fucked Up brought out critics with many saying they redefined the genre Hardcore. While I heard more tempered thoughts among friends alike, it was generally considered pretty good. A lot of the time more then one winner is deserving and I pegged both Fucked Up and CVG deserving to win.
It’s just all rehashing of previous thoughts anyway so congrats to Fucked Up.
