PUP announce new EP 'This Place Sucks Ass'

Following on from the release of their highly-praised album 'Morbid Stuff' last year, PUP have now announced their plans for a new EP, arriving next month.

The new six-track collection 'This Place Sucks Ass' will include the previously shared cuts 'Anaphylaxis' and their cover of Grandaddy's 'A.M. 180', is being previewed by the new single 'Rot', and is expected to arrive on the 23rd October via Little Dipper / Rise Records.

Speaking about the title, frontman Stefan Babcock said, "It was a thing we used to say as a joke a million times on tour. Literally any city, whether it was Lethbridge, Alberta, or New York City, we’d be like, ‘This place sucks ass.’ We have so much negativity, and sometimes it becomes so extreme and ridiculous that we start to find it funny. But at this moment in time, it feels so fucking real. Wherever you are, it sucks ass right now. So, wherever you live, whatever your circumstances, this is an EP about the place you’re from, and the place you're at now."
