Toronto’s favourite pop-punk band PUP are back! Their fifth album, “Who Will Look After the Dogs?”, is set to arrive May 2nd via Little Dipper/Rise Records. The project comes nearly three years after the band’s last, the very sweet and whole-hearted “The Unraveling of PUPTHEBAND”.
They’re also previewing what’s to come with new single “Hallways“, with Stefan sharing of the story behind it:
“I wrote the lyrics for “Hallways” while all that was going on. It was a weird fucking week. The title of our new record, “Who Will Look After The Dogs?“, is what I wrote at the top of the page, the very first thing written for this album. I think it’s devastating, but in a ‘holy shit this is overdramatic’ kinda way. At least in context of the line that comes before it. That’s what makes it funny to us.
“That overblown stuff we all say in our dark moments can be hilarious once you’ve cooled off a bit. I don’t know if anyone else thinks it’s funny, but sometimes you gotta laugh at yourself. It’s the only way out of the abyss. Trust me.”
The Canadian punk faves are Stefan Babcock, Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula and Steve Sladkowski
