You know about the Polaris Prize? Well I didnt. But thats what im going for now.
Toronto hardcore band Fucked Up just won the coveted Polaris Prize this year. ohhh and along with that little prize.. you win $20,000.00!!!!!!!! thats fucked up. I'm in a band... and I can't even imagine the ways we could spend 20gzzz.
Checking out their blog... they're taking all the criticism like a punk band should.. by not giving a fuck!
From their blog:
In the mean time, here are some choice TWEETS:
cratic Can not believe Fucked Up won the Polaris Prize over Metric. I don't want to take anything away from them, but come on...

LexStoymenoff gotta love Canadian music awards "galas" - at #polaris the winners come up on stage with pants undone and chugging a beer.wwkuwl .
@mtvnewscanada Well, the Polaris Prize just took a big dump on their credibility factor. I guess Patrick Watson couldn't win again so soon?
Dissentertainer I hope they aren't the best Canada has to offer RT @Guttersniped Polaris winner announced - Fucked Up. Both sad and predictable.
I spotted all this info @ Montreal Poutine .. a really dope Montreal blog that more people should check out..
