PUP Announce Live EP ‘PUP Unravels Live In Front Of Everyone They Know’ + Share Two Songs

By: Staff –

Toronto punk band PUP have announced a live EP titled PUP Unravels Live In Front Of Everyone They Know.

The EP was recorded across multiple shows in the band’s hometown of Toronto earlier this year. The EP will be released on October 12th, and the band shares its first two tracks today. Listen to live versions of “Matilda” and “Robot Writes A Love Song” below.

Man, the songs sound *sick* live, right? Good thing you can hear them in-person starting next week if you’re in the U.S. or next month if you’re in the UK/EU! Get your tickets now, on-sale HERE. 

“Hometown shows always kinda trip me out,” says frontman Stefan Babcock. “On one hand, they are the most fun shows to play. Toronto has always rallied behind us and we are so lucky to feel that love. But they are also stressful because you don’t want to screw up in front of everyone you know. All of our families, friends, frenemies, the guy who used to sell me weed at the Wendy’s Drivethru, kids I went to elementary school with, my parents’ neighbours. It’s a lot. I think that sort of anxious chaotic energy is captured on these recordings. PUP live is PUP at our best and also at our worst. Raw, scrappy, and holding on for dear life.”

1. Four Chords (Live in Toronto / 2022)
2. Totally Fine (Live in Toronto / 2022)
3. Robot Writes A Love Song (Live in Toronto / 2022)
