Today, Toronto’s own Fucked Up share “Found,” the second single off their forthcoming album One Day (Merge Records) out January 27, 2023. “Found” follows the lead single, the album’s title track, which “challenges listeners to open up to the possibilities for love” (Consequence).  Regarding “Found,” guitarist and songwriter Mike Haliechuk had this to say:

I used to live on Davenport Road, which is one of the oldest streets in North America, and has been a First Nations trail for thousands of years, running along the north shore of Lake Iroquois, which receded after the last ice age. Just to the east was Taddle Creek, which was buried underground during the 19th century to build the streets I walk on. I thought about gentrification a lot, watching little stores get swallowed up by big buildings until I realized I am one of those big buildings.  The name of the song comes from the Shadi Bartsch translation of The Aeneid, where she points out that the words “found” and “stab” open and close the book, which are two meanings for the same Greek verb. That discovery is actually conquest, and that settlement is always violence.  And that any story I try to tell myself about the place I found to live can only be a story to justify the expansion of one people across the world of another.
