Pup Share Video For “Sibling Rivalry”
Praise for "Morbid Stuff":
- "Unifying" - NME (4/5)
- "This one's worth listening to" - Kerrang! (4/5)
- "With 'Morbid Stuff', the Toronto band made the best album of their career" - Noisey
- "'Morbid Stuff' is the angriest PUP has ever sounded. But it’s not a cry for help. It’s a cry of freedom, the sound of a band realising that anger is liberating..." - Pitchfork (7.9)
Toronto, Ontario’s PUP today release their newest video for the song "Sibling Rivalry", one of the standout songs on their critically acclaimed new album, "Morbid Stuff", out now on Little Dipper/Rise Records. Animated by Martin MacPherson, the "Sibling Rivalry" video tells the story of lead singer Stefan Babcock’s camping adventure with his sister which - in typical PUP tradition - goes horribly, terribly wrong...
Of the video, Babcock says: “My sister and I go on pretty wild camping trips every year. Each year they get crazier and crazier, because we’re constantly trying to out-dumb one another. This song is about a couple of those trips. In order to tell some of these very stupid stories, I’ve started drawing really shitty comics. I draw like a 5 year old, but I love doing it. There’s something liberating about diving headfirst into something you know is going to turn out like absolute trash. Luckily for me, my pal Marty is really creative and incredibly good at animation, and he really helped bring these stories to life in this video”.
The band will be returning to Europe later in the year. Check out the tour dates below.
