Toronto’s punk powerhouse PUP announced a new EP to get us through the craziest year of our lives. Entitled ‘This Place Sucks Ass,’ the six-song collection arrives October 23, 2020, via Little Dipper / Rise Records. In addition to the previously released songs ‘Anaphylaxis’ and a cover of Grandaddy’s beloved ‘A.M. 180,’ the EP contains three songs from the ‘Morbid Stuff’ sessions that have yet to see the light of day, as well as the blistering ‘Rot,’ which was written and recorded this year.
In celebration of ‘This Place Sucks Ass’ release, PUP will be playing their first-ever livestreamed show, appropriately titled This Stream Sucks Ass, on October 23, 2020 at 9 pm EST / 6 pm PST. Click HERE to purchase tickets.
Says the band about the livestream: “What can you expect from the livestream? Like most regular PUP shows, it’ll probably be a bit of a trainwreck, which is really all part of the magic. We don’t know if it’ll be any good, but we do promise it will be weird and different from any livestream you’ve ever seen. It’s being directed by our pal (and 5th member of PUP) Jeremy Schaulin-Rioux, who has also directed almost all of our music videos. It will be fun and unhinged and entirely unprofessional. Am I selling it? I think I’m selling it.”
