\"Pup\"<\/a>Toronto punk four-piece PUP<\/strong> are heading back to Australian shores in support of sophomore record The Dream Is Over <\/strong>out May 27 via SideOneDummy\/Cooking Vinyl.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Since the 2014 release of PUP\u2019s self-titled debut, this ferocious four-piece has truly taken the world by storm. They were listed amongst Rolling Stone\u2019s Breakout Rock Acts of 2014<\/a>, named one of Kerrang\u2019s 20 Hottest Bands In The World Right Now<\/a> and garnered nominations for three JUNO Awards, including a 2016 Video Of The Year <\/a>nod for \u201cDark Days<\/a>,\u201d and two nominations for the Prism Prize. They\u2019ve toured the world twice over, playing over 300 shows in the last two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cfeathery guitar riffs, stop-on-a-dime shifts, sing-along gang vocals\u2014and twisting the knife in a little deeper.\u201d <\/em>– Noisey<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEffortlessly cool, charmingly nerdy, and wholly brilliant.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 NME<\/strong><\/p>\n
