About
Canadian punk rock band PUP brought their energetic and unapologetically loud performance to NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concert series, filling lead singer Stefan Babcock's living room with their signature high-energy sound. The band, which formed in Toronto in 2010 under the name Topanga before rebranding as PUP (Pathetic Use of Potential), has made a name for themselves with their raw and intense musical style.
PUP's setlist for the Tiny Desk concert featured songs from their discography, including tracks from albums like "PUP," "The Dream Is Over," and "Morbid Stuff." Despite the acoustic nature of the Tiny Desk setting, PUP maintained their characteristic electrifying presence, showcasing their ability to captivate audiences regardless of the venue.
The band's performance was a testament to their unwavering commitment to their punk roots and energetic live shows, even in the intimate setting of a Tiny Desk concert. PUP's latest EP, "This Place Sucks Ass," released in 2020, and their most recent album, "The Unraveling of PUPTheBand" from April 2022, have continued to solidify their position as one of the most dynamic and compelling acts in the punk rock scene.
