FUCKED UP<\/strong> returns with Year Of The Monkey<\/em>, the second chapter in the Grass Can Move Stones<\/em> trilogy, picking up where Year Of The Goat<\/em> left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grass Can Move Stones<\/em> tells the story of Monkey and Good Goat, two young friends who embark on a journey of self-discovery, encountering gods, magical creatures, and dangers along the way, loosely following the narrative of the fundamental Journey To The West<\/em>, written in the 16th century by Wu Cheng\u2019en. The story also charts the career of the band, whose search for a musical home has led them through a varied and complex discography over the past twenty-five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anchored vocally again by Damian Abraham and Tuka Mohammed, on Year Of The Monkey<\/em> FUCKED UP<\/strong> are joined by an incredible chorus of guest voices which bring to life the brilliantly crafted and imaginative supporting characters of Grass Can Move Stones<\/em>. Among them are John Brannon (Negative Approach, Laughing Hyenas), Carson McHone (The Outfit, Carson McHone), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth Of Today), Dan Bejar (Destroyer), Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, Off!), Jake Bannon (Converge), Brandon Welchez (Crocodiles), Chris Colohon (Left For Dead, Cursed), Leigh Arthur (Extravision, Sissy), and Annie-Claude Desch\u00eanes (Duchess Says) reprising her role as Tiger from FUCKED UP<\/strong>\u2019s 2012 release Year Of The Tiger<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ten-sides of music have begun being released serially over the course of the year starting with Year Of The Goat<\/em> which was released in December 2025, Year Of The Monkey<\/em> in Spring 2026, and concluding with Year Of The Rooster<\/em>, the last entry in the trilogy, which will coincide with the 20th anniversary of Year Of The Dog<\/em>, FUCKED UP<\/strong>\u2019s first Zodiac release, in October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each subsequent entry will debut on the FUCKED UP<\/strong> Bandcamp, followed by a vinyl preorder for release on the longstanding home of FUCKED UP<\/strong>\u2019s Zodiac releases, Tankcrimes Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
