"Morbid Stuff just still sounds like friends having fun and making catchy, cathartic punk anthems for teens and almost-adults alike — offering a brief, but much needed respite from the hell that is everyday life...their strongest album to date." - Exclaim! (9/10)
"These guys are heroes." - NPR Music's Robin Hilton
"If you're gonna start a record, you might as well do it right. I just cannot get enough of this record. I think it's one of my favorite records of the year. Easily...musically it's explosive. It is huge." - NPR Music's New Music Friday Podcast
"'Morbid Stuff' is the angriest PUP has ever sounded. But it’s not a cry for help. It’s a cry of freedom, the sound of a band realizing that anger is liberating..." - Pitchfork (7.9)
"Morbid Stuff [is] another collection of explosively catchy anthem/tantrums...[PUP] still sound about as vibrant and youthful as a rock band can. It’s invigorating. It’s harrowing. It rules. Fuck with it." - Stereogum

Formed in Toronto five years ago, PUP – comprised of Stefan Babcock, Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula, and Steve Sladowski – quickly became favorites of the punk scene with their first two, critically-beloved albums, winning accolades everywhere from the New York Times to Pitchfork, from NPR and Rolling Stone, and more. Now, with their Polaris Music Prize Shortlisted LP, Morbid Stuff, PUP have grown up and doubled down on everything that made you love their first two records. It’s gang’s-all-here vocals, guitarmonies, and lyrics about death. Lots of them. Fitting to their ethos, their new album takes the dichotomy of fun and emotional wreckage in their songs and teeters between gleeful chaos and bleak oblivion while wielding some of the best choruses the band has ever written. It’s the most insightful, sweetest, funniest, sickest, angriest, saddest and most inescapably desperate collection of songs they’ve recorded to date. If their self-titled record was the fuse and The Dream Is Over was the bomb going off, Morbid Stuff is your family sifting through the rubble, only to find you giggling while you bleed to death.

MORE PRAISE FOR PUP AND MORBID STUFF
"Along with the band’s songwriting, Babcock’s point of view has sharpened further and grown even more candid, grappling with his own depression and repurposing the band’s most crippling doubts into addictive hooks." - Vulture
"With 'Morbid Stuff,' the Toronto band made the best album of their career." - Noisey
""PUP’s third album Morbid Stuff is by far their best yet, and already one of the best punk albums of the year." - Brooklyn Vegan
"The beauty of PUP is that the band writes confident, catchy punk songs that are fueled, almost exclusively, by anxiety and indecision. On ['Morbid Stuff'], PUP offers up a new batch of songs that all play like stadium-punk anthems, but Stefan Babcock is still singing about every stupid thing he’s ever said or done. " - The A.V. Club
"['Morbid Stuff' is] the year’s catchiest, darkest, and overall best punk album" - Uproxx
"A refreshing, sarcastic antidote to fighting misery with the usual greetings card-meets-motivational poster sentiment, ‘Morbid Stuff’ secures PUP’s position at the top of the present-day punk rock pile." - NME (4/5)
