SPILL NEWS: PUP ANNOUNCES THE DREAM IS OVER + REVEAL NEW VIDEO

NEW ALBUM THE DREAM IS OVER OUT MAY 27 VIA ROYAL MOUNTAIN RECORDS

WORLD TOUR DATES BEGIN APRIL 17 WITH A STOP IN TORONTO ON MAY 26

In the video for their new single “If This Tour Doesn’t Kill You, I Will” Toronto punks PUP act out a shocking scenario of their life on the road. Having toured all over the world since the release of their self-titled debut in 2013, it’s a perspective they know all too well, and one that heavily influenced the themes on their forthcoming album The Dream Is Over, out May 27 via Royal Mountain Records.

Named for the first thing doctors told singer/guitarist Stefan Babcock after a recent examination of his damaged vocal chords, The Dream Is Over finds PUP as confident and as in tune with each other as they have ever been. It’s a conscious act of rebellious defiance that turns this crazy dream of theirs back on its head. If anything, The Dream Is Over is a visible, visceral proof that the dream is, in fact, very much alive.

Beginning April 17, PUP will embark on a tour throughout Europe and North America with Modern Baseball, Rozwell Kid, Charly Bliss, and Royal Mountain label-mates PKEW PKEW PKEW in support of the album. Full tour dates are listed below with more dates to be announced soon.

Since the 2014 release of PUP’s self-titled debut, this ferocious four-piece has truly taken the world by storm. They were listed amongst Rolling Stone’s Breakout Rock Acts of 2014, named one of Kerrang’s 20 Hottest Bands In The World Right Now and garnered nominations for three JUNO Awards, including a 2016 Video Of The Year nod for “Dark Days,” and two nominations for the Prism Prize. They’ve toured the world twice over, playing over 300 shows in the last two years, most recently having ripped through a near two month-long run across the United States.
