Toronto four-piece PUP have shared two new songs, “Waiting” and “Kill Something.” The band has also announced a North American tour set for 2022. Listen to the new songs and view the full list of tour dates below.

Both “Waiting” and “Kill Something” were produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National, Kurt Vile). Frontman Stefan Babcock elaborates on “Waiting,” which features Kathryn McCaughey of NOBRO, in a press release: “‘Waiting’ came about by smashing the heaviest riff Nestor [Chumak, bassist for the band] 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.”

PUP’s most recent album, Morbid Stuff, came out in 2019 via Little Dipper/Rise.
