Fucked Up seems to have a little crush on Denver. Besides playing a now-legendary show inside the cramped confines of Wax Trax Records last February, the Canadian punk outfit even chose a photograph submitted by Wax Trax co-owner Duane David to grace one of the alternative covers of the band’s recent Record Store Day single. Fucked Up’s music, though, is universal: On its latest full-length, the sprawling Couple Tracks: Singles 2002-2009, the breadth of the group’s punk-rock battle plan, everything from savage hardcore to shout-along anthems, grace the double disc, which is a fittingly scattered followup to 2008’s epic (and even progressive) The Chemistry of Common Life. Expect plenty of sloppy, sweaty kisses — in a sonic sense — at the group’s return to the Larimer Lounge.
