Toronto quartet PUP play their own version of hardcore punk, one that's more literal and more sunny than most.

Punk is pessimistic; it languishes in its own brash, self-deprecating defeatism. It’s no surprise then that Toronto-based four-piece PUP named themselves after Pathetic Use of Potential, quitting their day jobs to pursue the unglamorous hedonism of punk rock. How ironic it seems now for the band – who ambitiously fired some tracks over to veteran producer David Schiffman, only to have him take them on – to now garner acclaim.

Luckily, Pup's eponymous debut is so good that it's guaranteed to eclipse anything they accomplished under their previous name.
