The Fuck Ups-FU82

The glorious Fuck Ups from San Francisco. MRR's most hated band! The first song is White Boy which Bob Noxious sings about walking around San Francisco's Mission Dist. For those that don't know, The Mission District, or The Mission as we say, is a latino enclave that borders the SOMA Dist. and Noe Valley. Loads of gang problems and crime, but with some of the best Mexican food around! MRR black balled The Fuck Ups for this song, stating that they were racist. Noooo they're not! MRR was a bible to alot of us during the 80's, but as I have gotten older have realized that they were dictating their own agenda in the punk scene here. With no voice to air their own views, The Fuck Ups had to play incognito and such. Now I am not saying that Bob Noxious was a saint. Far from that. He was notorious for attacking other lead singers of bands he did not like and he managed to do so to Ian McKaye of Minor Threat at either The Tool and Die or the Mab I cannot remember which. Also I think guitarest Joe Dirt was in Society Dog too. I cannot remember if that is correct or not. If someone knows, tell me. I must check out some of my Ripper fanzines and check up on this. It has been tooooo long. So here it is with all of the controversy. You, my fine readers and DL'ers make up your own mind. I have also included their track on the Mystic Comp. We Got Power for your listening pleasure.

  2. MMR was always for tools and you are 100% correct were always trying to brain wash the movement into their pocket, the prime example
    of "chickenshit conformists like your parents"

  4. "Bacon And Eggs" is my favorite hardcore song of all time, and it probably has been since I first heard it on a Mystic Records comp.
