Music: F'in' Best PUNK-POP Album EVER?! ("The F-Ups" are a LOST 2000s GEM!)

In episode #307 of Coolest Alive, Jesse Blaze Snider spotlights the high-energy 2004 self-titled debut album from The F-Ups, a mohawked punk-pop outfit of teenagers who burst onto the scene with raw, rebellious anthems like “Lazy Generation” that landed in video games and captured the spirit of early-2000s skate-punk attitude, blending catchy hooks, snotty lyrics, and unpolished fun that still feels fresh for fans craving that Warped Tour-era vibe.
