David Comes to Life is the third studio album by Canadian hardcore punk band Fucked Up. It was released on June 7, 2011, in North America and June 6, 2011, elsewhere on Matador Records in CD and double LP formats. David Comes to Life is an 18-song epic in four acts.[2] It became Fucked Up's first charting album in the United States ranking at number 83 on the Billboard 200.[3]
The album is a rock opera set in 1970s and 1980s England. The story involves unreliable narrators and meta-narrative plot devices. Drummer Jonah Falco described the album as a love story between the title character David and a girl named Veronica.[4]
