PUP will unravel right before your very eyes on tour, starting in the U.S.tonight.
Toronto punk heroes PUP-comprised of Stefan Babcock, Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula, and Steve Sladkowski- release their incredible, ambitious and aptly titled fourth album, THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND, today.
The album was recorded and mixed over the course of five weeks in the summer of 2021, in GRAMMY Award-winning producer Peter Katis' bat-filled mansion in Connecticut. Full of typically furious, ridiculous and anthemic songs, the recording process allowed PUP to push themselves further than ever before.
With more time in the studio, they were able to craft their songs sonically in a way they were unable to in the past, and allowed themselves to incorporate new instruments like piano, synths, horns, and more for the first time. Though made in madness-inducing isolation (aside from Peter and the bats, of course), PUP were remotely joined on the album by Sarah from Illuminati Hotties, Kathryn from NOBRO, Mel from Casper Skulls, and Erik from Remo Drive. The result is not just the next PUP record, but the *most* PUP record.
PUP will unravel right before your very eyes on tour, starting in the U.S.tonight. See below to find a show, including festivals such as Coachella & Shaky Knees, below. Tickets are on-sale now here.
