Fucked Up will release their second singles collection, Couple Tracks: Singles 2002-2008, on Jan. 26 through Matador.

The compilation is divided into two discs dubbed "The Hard Stuff" and "The Fun Stuff," and includes "No Pasaran," the first single the band released. It's intended to be a "sequel" to the Polaris Music Prize winners' 2004 singles collection, Epics In Minutes. It contains 25 A- and- B-sides from the band's singles released over the last six years. And just for the record, no, the 12-minute "Year Of The Rat" isn't on it.

Couple Tracks comes with an "illustrated discography" of all the band's singles, which basically means you can look at all their fancy covers while you're listening to them. It's available for pre-order through the Matador Records website.
