PUP return with first new tracks of 2021 "Waiting" and "Kill Something"
Toronto punks PUP are back with new songs "Waiting" and "Kill Something", marking their first new material of 2021.
"Waiting"and "Kill Something" are PUP's first new releases since last year's This Place Sucks Ass EP, and follows their cover of Metallica's "Holier Than Thou" that featured on The Metallica Blacklist covers album that dropped in September.
Both songs were produced by Grammy winner Peter Katis (Intepol, The National, Kurt Vile), and the first of the two tracks features NOBRO's Kathryn McCaughey.
The band's Stefan Babcock says of "Waiting", ""Waiting" came about by smashing the heaviest riff Nestor could write with the simplest, most uplifting chorus I could write, just to see what would happen. The results were very quintessentially PUP, in that the song is a flurry of darkness and anger through the joyous lens of four guys just happy to be here, four guys who don’t take themselves seriously enough to make music that doesn’t feel like fun, regardless of the subject matter."
The band are yet to follow up their 2019 album Morbid Stuff.
