Toronto punk heroes PUP— comprised of Stefan Babcock, Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula, and Steve Sladkowski – gained widespread attention with their 2014 self-titled debut and have since released critically acclaimed albums like The Dream Is Over (2016), Morbid Stuff (2019), and THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND (2022). The band is known for their high-energy performances and cathartic, raw sound and often darkly humorous lyrics. The explosive “Paranoid” is out now, and is PUP’s first new release in two years.
