Fuck

Conduct

Matador

To keep life interesting, a band’s gotta do what a band’s gotta do. Fuck does it by activities such as switching instruments amongst themselves, keeping their toys handy, and recording songs backwards, in addition to maintaining a bi-coastal lifestyle. What transpires here on Conduct is a collection of tracks that soothe the listener with their perfect harmonies whilst slapping the same in the face with the occasional well-placed discordant rhyme. Fuck is a breath of fresh country punk picking up where They Might Be Giants and Ween left off.
