PUP detail forthcoming fifth album, Who Will Look After The Dogs?

“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," says Babcock on the new single, "Hallways".

"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.”

Who Will Look After The Dogs?, was made in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton over the course of three weeks, and it’s the culmination of PUP’s past decade of constant touring. Frontman Stefan Babcock excavates his life's relationships - romantic, with his bandmates, and most ruthlessly, his relationship to himself. While PUP historically are at one another’s throats during the album process, this time they scrapped their tedious perfectionism and rediscovered the joy of making loud music together.

PUP will return to the UK and EU for a headline tour in May, with dates in Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, and more.
