It's so rare that out of three albums, I will enjoy every single song. Can't get enough.

[@breadfriend1704]

Keltron right? This is the only band that doesn’t have a single song I don’t like

[@dungbeetle6698]

Fr like wtf all the songs are good

[@BlindBloomer]

Glad to see stefan hasn't lost his voice

[@querps1043]

that one hurts.

[@dnkgy]

I didn't think they'd be able to top sleep in the heat as far as speaking to me emotionally, but then they write scorpion hill and change my mind

[@miesals]

Stefan is such a great ARIST 0:09

[@bretthutchison1934]

Just went through a major break up end of a 4 year relationship to the woman I thought I was gonna marry some day all three of their albums have been on repeat for the last two weeks straight

[@aus-li]

I love PUP! Scorpion Hill is one of my favorites on the new album.

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

In a pretty dark place rn and I guess there's comfort in people feeling the same way, love PUP one of my favorite bands thanks guys

[@antsinmyeyesjohnson7709]

Bloody Mary Kate and Ashley would be an interesting song to explain but then again sometimes it's best for the listeners to come up with their own meanings for songs

[@pokesprite266]

His girlfriend went on her period mid-acid trip

[@cplhicks4744]

Badass album from a surprisingly badass nerd punk band

[@mindseyemusicreview]

I love the accordion so f-ing much in this song. It's like a train whistle as the song barrels down the track

[@vicjames3256]

So glad to see PUP on here. They need more love. 2 perfect albums - need to hear the new one.

[@marwinjafari5009]

I love how Nestor and Stefan get "Artist" in their description, but Zack gets just "Drummer"

[@jimgreen8476]

exactly how it should be

[@Inojin67]

Too bad since he's a great drummer, PUP wouldn't be the same without him

[@georgesonofgeorge3771]

It’s literally my favorite track of theirs. Literally speaking from my thoughts

[@jakedietrich8302]

I love this. Nestor thinks Zack is ripping off Wackerman, so they call Zack and he straight up says the part is from a Bad Religion song that Wackerman played on. Nice! To be fair, both are incredible drummers, so I guess great minds think alike!

[@BrandonKClark86]

I love this song so much, the whole album is perfect 0 skips but this is my favorite out of all of them

[@Char12403]

Seeing them open for Charly Bliss in a while so this has my hyped to see them as well.

[@badkarma804]

“It’s sahpoooosed to be pritty hurtfelt...” love these Canuck bangers.

[@therealMolochko]

This isn't a breakdown! I need to know! Whose gun was it? Who found it? Who used it? HOW DOES IT END?

[@CrappySalami]

I can't pretend to know

[@Simte]

Hell yeah PUP!

[@frankieghost9902]

1:28 adorable

[@ohohvalerie]

Long live punk rock

[@Masteroftacos]

THE BOYS

[@beatsbykana]

makes so much sense why this album is so good after hearing them break it down and how it resonates

[@casperquinn5142]

that's my favorite line in the song too

[@idontneedausername]

One of my favorite bands ripping off another one of my favorite bands. Sweet.

[@mandyfillsack7620]

This band owns my heart

[@pyrofiree]

Nice

[@LMBECIL]

That song is an emotional bomb, I enjoy every song of PUP but sometimes they hit me hard, in a bad way

[@howtoeataham]

Such a banger of a song off a banger of an album

[@LeveyHere]

An absolute banger.

[@reay7224]

Woo! Love these guys!

[@artfuldodger0870]

Neato

[@bl8976]

Wow this was 5 years ago?

[@MrMotherfuck123]

So they broke down just that one Song ?

[@zachjohnston5948]

Canada’s crown jewel

[@fenrirumbra3772]

cant wait to see PUP in christiania

[@HorrorEdits]

Isn't Brooks Wackerman the drummer for A7X ?

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

Yes he is. Before he went off to join A7X, he was the drummer for Bad Religion, from 2001-2015.

[@PipinhoSnow]

:)

[@ErrSid]

"Stephan Babcock arist",

[@pyrofiree]

I AM dutch can english people not see the video?

[@foeof]

Stop putting these parts into your "News" episodes. Really no one wants to see them. In the latest episode you had Austan Goolsbee talk about economics capped at the end with recordings of vaccination outrage -- this is a much better type of content for "News" viewers. We are, after all, looking for news and not music.

[@dnkgy]

Your opinion is patently false

[@frogielegins2469]

Facts

[@ttrriiggeerrhhaappyy]

Guess what, news is a very broad term, get over it.

[@Flannel_Dest1]

It’s an entertainment piece. News doesn’t always have to be about economics or politics.

[@m.h3846]

f oe Not everyone is subbed to this channel for one reason, certainly not for hearing vaccine rage.

[@officerk8697]

Please focus your resources on the documentries,if i wanted to see shitty musicans explaning their lyrics I would watch genius.

[@juno9023]

if you don't like it then don't watch it 😂 they can make whatever videos they want

[@ricklyons6125]

dude. go listen to the song. then read the lyrics. pup is a pretty underrated band.

[@Flannel_Dest1]

Rick lyons I agree whole heartedly. Pup is one of the most up incoming bands right now and deserve to be recognize.
