Hot on the heels of the release of their critically acclaimed new album, Morbid Stuff, on Little Dipper/Rise, Toronto, Ontario's PUP are thrilled to announce a massive North American tour for this fall. Illuminati Hotties will support on a handful of America dates, while Charly Bliss will support throughout Canada this October.
Tickets go on sale next Friday, April 19 at 10am local venue time. Purchase ticketsHERE. The band also has an exclusive ticket pre-sale starting Tuesday, April 16 at 10am local time; $1 from every ticket sold in the pre-sale goes to The Trevor Project, who focus on suicide prevenion within the LBGTQ community.
Formed in Toronto five years ago, PUP -- comprised of Stefan Babcock, Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula, and Steve Sladowski -- quickly became favorites of the punk scene with their first two, critically-beloved albums, winning accolades everywhere from the New York Times to Pitchfork, from NPR and Rolling Stone, and more. Now, with Morbid Stuff, PUP have grown up and doubled down on everything that made you love their first two records. It's gang's-all-here vocals, guitarmonies, and lyrics about death. Lots of them. Fitting to their ethos, their new album takes the dichotomy of fun and emotional wreckage in their songs and teeters between gleeful chaos and bleak oblivion while wielding some of the best choruses the band has ever written. It's the most insightful, sweetest, funniest, sickest, angriest, saddest and most inescapably desperate collection of songs they've recorded to date. If their self-titled record was the fuse and The Dream Is Over was the bomb going off,Morbid Stuff is your family sifting through the rubble, only to find you giggling while you bleed to death.
