Met een breed arsenaal aan met adrenaline volgepompte poppunkhits blaft PUP recht in het gezicht van alle tegenslagen, worstelingen en crises des levens.  Wat overblijft is een vreemd soort blijdschap: blij om te leven, om te ademen of om een oerschreeuw van jewelste uit te slaken. In een tijd waarin wellness en zelfhulp de ronde doen kun je stiekem héél erg blij worden van een goede driftbui. Gelukkig gelooft PUP nog in dit principe, met legendarische shows die diep buiten de reserves tasten. 

Toronto punk band PUP’s fourth studio record ‘THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND’ 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.
