PUP have announced details of their forthcoming fifth album, Who Will Look After The Dogs?
The Canadian punk faves – Stefan Babcock, Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula and Steve Sladkowski – will share the follow-up to The Unraveling Of PUPTHEBAND on May 2 via Little Dipper / Rise Records.
They’re also previewing what’s to come with new single Hallways, with Stefan sharing of the story behind it: “Within days of announcing our last album, coincidentally titled The Unraveling Of PUPTHEBAND, my life unexpectedly imploded.
“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.”
