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. 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 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. The group's tough, guitar-based sound was front and center on their fifth LP, 2025's Who Will Look After the Dogs?, a chronicle of life after the end of a relationship.
