Overflowing with attitude, energy, and hooky guitar figures, PUP are a Toronto-based punk combo whose acclaimed 2013 debut helped earn them a widespread audience both inside and outside of Canada. The band quickly became a touring dynamo, and their quirky sense of humor and engaging songwriting played out over albums like 2016's The Dream Is Over and the slightly more polished Morbid Stuff, which arrived in 2019. A year later, PUP offered up their commentary on the state of the world with This Place Sucks Ass, a six-song EP whose title referenced one of their long-standing touring inside jokes. They signed with Universal for their fourth album, 2022's The Unraveling of Puptheband, and created a denser but still frenetic sound by experimenting with different instruments.
