History

Origins and formation (2010)

Bassist Nestor Chumak, guitarist Steve Sladkowski, and drummer Zack Mykula are childhood friends who attended school in Toronto together.[8] Two of them met in third grade, and the third met them in high school at Humberside Collegiate Institute.[9][10] Throughout their childhood, they played in a number of bands together. Vocalist and guitarist Stefan Babcock also grew up playing in bands in Toronto. During high school, Babcock was the lead guitarist for a ska band called Stop Drop N Skank that he formed with some of his classmates at Earl Haig Secondary School. Babcock encountered Chumak, Sladkowski, and Mykula on occasion at local Toronto music venues, but was not close with them at the time.[11]

After high school, Babcock's band Stop Drop N Skank dissolved. While attending Toronto Metropolitan University, he worked with Nestor Chumak to record a song he had written for a school project.[11] Following its completion, the duo teamed up with Chumak's friends Sladkowski and Mykula to form a group called Topanga. The name comes from Topanga Matthews, a character on the 1990s Disney sitcom Boy Meets World whom the band has called "our first middle-school crush."[12] They decided to record a four-track EP together, although Babcock says that at the time, they considered this a one-off project and didn't think of themselves as a "real band."[8] Topanga EP (later retitled Lionheart EP) was released as a free download on December 7, 2010.[13][14]

Early days as a band (2011–2013)

Shortly after the release of their debut EP, the band began performing live together. They played their first show ever at the Bovine Sex Club in January 2011.[15] According to Babcock, the EP was gaining traction online, and they began receiving increasingly better show offers.[8] By the beginning of 2012, they had begun touring with Hollerado and were signed to Hollerado's label, Royal Mountain Records. On February 15, 2012, they released the two-track Oceans 7" with Royal Mountain.[16]

In 2012, Topanga began contemplating making their first full-length album, and wanted to find a producer who could help them capture their heavy performance style in a studio recording.[17] Inspired by The Bronx's 2008 self-titled album, they were interested in working with its producer, Dave Schiffman, an industry veteran who had worked with artists such as Rage Against the Machine, Weezer, and Anti-Flag. They sent him a demo and, to their elatement, he liked it and soon flew to Toronto to begin working on their album.[8] The album was recorded in Montréal, in a studio that belongs to professional former F1 driver Jacques Villeneuve.[18]

While working on the album, the band decided to change their name from Topanga to something else. According to Babcock, they felt the name was less fitting now that they had locked down a heavy punk rock style (as opposed to the lighter rock style they had played early on).[8] In addition, Disney had announced a new spinoff series based on Boy Meets World, and the band didn't want to be associated with it.[12] After a few months of uncertainty, they decided on the name PUP. The name is an acronym of a quote by Babcock's grandmother, who said that playing in a rock band was a "pathetic use of potential."[15] The band officially announced their new name via social media on April 16, 2013.[12]

PUP (2013–2015)

Having begun recording with Schiffman, the band announced their upcoming album would release on October 8, 2013.[2] From September to the end of November 2013, PUP joined Hollerado and the Zolas on a 24-stop tour across Canada to promote the album. Upon its release, the self-titled debut album, PUP, was met with critical acclaim. The Calgary Herald named PUP one of Canada's best new bands,[19] and Stereogum listed them as one of the top 40 new bands of 2013.[20] PUP won two Bucky Awards from CBC Radio 3 for Best Live Show and Best New Artist in 2013, and was nominated for Best Video.[21]

In December 2013, PUP signed with SideOneDummy Records and re-released their debut album in the United States on April 8, 2014.[22] In 2014, they went on their first tour of the UK, playing 8 shows around the country with the UK band Slaves. The first two shows of the tour in London were part of the NME Awards tour.[23] After that they played South By Southwest in Austin, Texas, followed by several more London shows and the Groezrock festival in Belgium. In May they started an extensive tour of the US with the Menzingers, Lemuria and Cayetana, playing 32 shows in 39 days. In August they opened for the Hives in London, England, and then played at Reading and Leeds Festivals. In September 2014, they made first appearance on Riot Fest at Chicago and Toronto.

In late 2014, PUP completed its first head-lining tour of Canada and the US, culminating in a sold-out concert at Toronto's Lee's Palace featuring a "next level" performance.[24] In early 2015, PUP completed a multi-city tour of Australia, supporting The Smith Street Band. PUP then participated in the 2015 Vans Warped Tour, joining the tour for the month of July, including a highly anticipated date in Toronto, the band's hometown and place where the band has enjoyed success. This was the band's first time playing the Molson Amphitheatre. Between October and December 2015, the group supported Modern Baseball on their headlining US tour.[25]

The Dream Is Over (2016–2018)

On May 27, 2016, PUP released The Dream Is Over through SideOneDummy.[28] According to the band, the title is a direct quote from Babcock's doctor after damaging his vocal cords.[29]

PUP toured the US, Canada, Australia and Europe in 2016 on a headlining tour entitled "If This Tour Doesn't Kill You, I Will", which is also the name of the first track on the album. In early 2017, PUP headlined European shows with The Wonder Years and Tiny Moving Parts.[30] During spring and summer 2017, they made appearances at several music festivals, including Shaky Knees,[31] Boston Calling,[32] WayHome,[33] Lollapalooza,[34] and Osheaga.[35]

In September 2017, PUP made their cable television debut on Last Call with Carson Daly on NBC, performing "Sleep in the Heat"[36] and "If This Tour Doesn't Kill You, I Will / DVP".[37]

Nestor Chumak guitarist Steve Sladkowski and drummer Zack Mykula are childhood friends who attended school in Toronto together 8 Two of them met in third grade and the third met them in high school at Humberside Collegiate Institute 9 10 Throughout their childhood they played in a number of bands together Vocalist and guitarist Stefan Babcock also grew up playing in bands in Toronto During high school Babcock was the lead guitarist for a ska band called Stop Drop N Skank that he formed with some of his classmates at Earl Haig Secondary School Babcock encountered Chumak Sladkowski and Mykula on occasion at local Toronto music venues but was not close with them at the time 11 After high school Babcock s band Stop Drop N Skank dissolved While attending Toronto Metropolitan University he worked with Nestor Chumak to record a song he had written for a school project 11 Following its completion the duo teamed up with Chumak s friends Sladkowski and Mykula to form a group called Topanga The name comes from Topanga Matthews a character on the 1990s Disney sitcom Boy Meets World whom the band has called our first middle school crush 12 They decided to record a four track EP together although Babcock says that at the time they considered this a one off project and didn t think of themselves as a real band 8 Topanga EP later retitled Lionheart EP was released as a free download on December 7 2010 13 14 Early days as a band 2011 2013 Edit Topanga performing at a bar in Ottawa in 2012 Shortly after the release of their debut EP the band began performing live together They played their first show ever at the Bovine Sex Club in January 2011 15 According to Babcock the EP was gaining traction online and they began receiving increasingly better show offers 8 By the beginning of 2012 they had begun touring with Hollerado and were signed to Hollerado s label Royal Mountain Records On February 15 2012 they released the two track Oceans 7 with Royal Mountain 16 In 2012 Topanga began contemplating making their first full length album and wanted to find a producer who could help them capture their heavy performance style in a studio recording 17 Inspired by The Bronx s 2008 self titled album they were interested in working with its producer Dave Schiffman an industry veteran who had worked with artists such as Rage Against the Machine Weezer and Anti Flag They sent him a demo and to their elatement he liked it and soon flew to Toronto to begin working on their album 8 The album was recorded in Montreal in a studio that belongs to professional former F1 driver Jacques Villeneuve 18 A banner from Topanga s Bandcamp site announcing the new name and logo While working on the album the band decided to change their name from Topanga to something else According to Babcock they felt the name was less fitting now that they had locked down a heavy punk rock style as opposed to the lighter rock style they had played early on 8 In addition Disney had announced a new spinoff series based on Boy Meets World and the band didn t want to be associated with it 12 After a few months of uncertainty they decided on the name PUP The name is an acronym of a quote by Babcock s grandmother who said that playing in a rock band was a pathetic use of potential 15 The band officially announced their new name via social media on April 16 2013 12 PUP 2013 2015 Edit PUP
