FUCKED UP Issues Video For Title Track To Oberon As EP Nears October Release Through Tankcrimes
Named for the king of the fairies, as depicted in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Oberon serves as a pummeling curveball from the collective channeling the world of hardcore that birthed them.

Topped off with an absolutely despicable cover of Saint-Saens’ “The Aquarium,” Oberon is the mythologically psychedelic sludge record you never thought FUCKED UP would make. Four tracks of pure audio excretion.
