Premiere: Listen: PUP Stream ‘Lionheart’ Track
Canadian giants-in-waiting preview their debut album on SideOneDummy Records.

The frenzied charts and sweat-drenched rejoice of PUP is manifesting itself into a debut full-length later this year, scheduled for a release on SideOneDummy Records. Self-titled, the album’s set to feature colossal lead single ‘Reservoir’, plus the similarly menacing new track ‘Lionheart’, which DIY is delighted to be premiering.
Coming off like fellow Canadians Tokyo Police Club trapped into a scuzz vortex, the new track is a melee of ‘ba! ba!’ yelps and riff-ensconced triumph.
Pup’s debut S/T album is released on 7th April. Listen below to ‘Lionheart’ and check out their forthcoming UK tour dates.
