PUP’s Tiny Desk Concert is a high-energy spin through existential dread with a smile: they blast through five tracks—“Morbid Stuff,” “Robot Writes a Love Song,” “Hallways,” “Kids” and “Hunger for Death”—from albums like Morbid Stuff, The Unraveling of PUPTheBand and Who Will Look After the Dogs? Frontman Stefan Babcock barely utters a word between songs but can’t hide his playful grin, even after cursing out NPR’s office.
Anchored by gritty riffs, deadpan humor and anthemic hooks, the Canadian pop-punk quartet turns world-weary lyrics into an unexpectedly uplifting set, backed by NPR’s top-notch Tiny Desk production team.
