PUP
The Unraveling Of PUPTHEBAND
LITTLE DIPPER / COOKING VINYL
After three albums and an EP, fans know what to expect from the Canadian grit-pop overlords in PUP. We expect thick, crunchy riffs slathered in distortion, wailing with nigh-on punishing – the tongue-in-cheek dorkiness of Stefan Babcock’s snarky quips, the loose and lively bite of Steve Sladkowski’s shredding, and the kind of steadfast, yet colourful rhythm section only bassist Nestor Chumak and drummer Zack Mykula could hold down. Like we said in our review of 2019’s (see: #132), there’s only one band that sounds like PUP, and we like it when they sound like PUP.
