Uncut is a Canadian indie rock band from Toronto. They have released two 12" singles and three full-length albums.
History
Uncut formed as a duo consisting of Ian Worang and Jake Fairley in 2001. After the pair had released a 12" recording, Understanding The New Violence, in 2002, Fairley left to pursue a career as a DJ.[1]
Worang developed Uncut into a full band with guitarists Chris McCann and Sam Goldberg, drummer Jon Drew and bassist Derek Tokar.[2] After performing around southern Ontario, in 2004 Uncut released the album Those Who Were Hung Hang Here on Paper Bag Records.[1][3] The band also released a single, Devotion.
In 2005, Uncut completed a short tour, after which the band recorded and released Modern Currencies in 2006.[4] The album included songwriting by Worang, Tokar and Goldberg, as well as some backing vocals from Melissa Auf der Maur.[5][6]
Uncut continues to perform,[7] and in 2013 released a third album, Infinite Repeats.
Worang died in December 2021, at the age of 47.[8]
