F*CK THE FACTS’ TENTH ANNIVERSARY TOUR SHOULD RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND SH*T DOWN YOUR THROAT

The above band pic of Fuck the Facts may have all the verve of a portrait of teenagers who don’t wanna be visiting with grandma on a Sunday, but don’t let that fool you — the only word to describe these Canadian grindsters’ live show is “exhilarating.” The last time I saw the band, vocalist Melanie Mongeon was so preggers that if her water had broken on-stage, I don’t think anyone would have been surprised — and she still screamed her fucking guts out. I can literally think of nothing more metal. And that’s just one member of the band.

So. Hard to believe, but Fuck the Facts are apparently ten years old, and they’re celebrating the big anniversary with a tour, which will include a stop at this year’s Scion Rock Fest. It’s hard for me to imagine that these gigs will be anything short of FUCKING NUTS, especially now that Mongeon is unencumbered by a baby bump. So you miss them at your own peril.

Seriously, don’t miss them, you fucking chump.
