Thank you Mark for this one – Pup is a Toronto band (Canadians!) that is best described as pop-punk – they certainly have the pop punk lead singer voice nailed down perfectly, albeit with a bit of an indie rock lead singer voice flavor (well said, I know.) I am not sure why Spotify discriminates against Pup in Rabies – they never fucking come up. However, whenever I do have some Pup come up, I do enjoy it.
There are certainly other directions I would rather go when I’m listening to shit like this (IDLES lately, Turnstile perennially), but this is a really nice way for those pop lovers, punk non-listeners (you know who you are) to get an easy bridge to a new genre of music. This one is certainly good, much better than a soon to be reviewed band who had a hit album in 2013 (who could it be???)
Favorite songs: Morbid Stuff, Kids, Free At Last, Scorpion Hill, Closure, Bloody Mary, Kate and Ashley, Sibling Rivalry, Bare Hands
