Damian Abraham never wanted to be in a band or be involved with music above simply appreciating it. Whatever Sliding Doors happenstance allowed it to happen, however, the man who would later become known as Pink Eyes eventually evolved into one of the scene's most passionate creatives. Whether he's at the helm of Fucked Up, hosting his own podcast Turned Out a Punk or sharing his love of wrestling and weed to a global audience, Damian lives and breathes what he loves. We spoke to the man himself while Fucked Up were touring Australia in October of 2019, discussing everything from Toronto hardcore, sustaining a band over 18 years and getting wailed in the balls at shows.
Thanks to Samantha Clode, Frontier Touring, The Gasometer, Damian Abraham and Adam Buncher.
