Q&A: Toronto's PUP Find Camaraderie On Warped Tour, Dig Drake
FUSE TV - Q&A: Toronto's PUP Find Camaraderie On Warped Tour, Dig Drake
If you've so much as brushed up against the pop-punk subculture in the last two years, PUP—who just premiered their "Dark Days" video on Fuse—are a band that hardly needs an introduction. They took the stale scene by storm in 2013 with their anthemic self-titled debut, a classic in its own right, and it's been a whirlwind for the Toronto quartet ever since. Details on a followup are unclear—the band is still writing a sophomore effort—but we caught up to inquire about other important issues including the SCOTUS decision on marriage equality, some Americans' over-dedication to the Confederate flag, and of course, being neighbors with Drake.
Many things about PUP remind me of an older generation of Warped Tour—style, emotion, melody and even a lot of influences cited—Built To Spill, Weezer, the Weakerthans. Does PUP ever feel out of place alongside new-gen Warped Acts like Metro Station, Memphis May Fire, Drama Club?
It’s less about feeling out of place and more about finding the right group of misfits to drink beer and smoke weed with. While we may not exist in the same aesthetic realms as some of the above-mentioned bands, there are plenty of bands that we immediately felt kinship with. This kinship is especially strong with our Canadian homies the Dirty Nil, Silverstein and Seaway—but it also extends to bands like Citizen, Lee Corey Oswald, Moose Blood, and the entire Warped Comedy Tent, who we feel are capturing the same vibe of Warped Tour that we loved when we were growing up.
