NEW ALBUM:
Heard the album last night and haven't stopped since, this album is great and it just captures everything that I previously loved about Pup's music and make it even better, especially Scorpion Hill, what a fantastic song in every level, it really just hits every thing to me, give it a listen!

DVP
First Song I heard:
Never Try
Personal Opinion:
I heard PUP for the first time a while back, a song called "Never Try" from their first album and the funny thing is that at first I didn't really pay much attention to the song, it wasn't till now this year that it came on my Spotify playlist again that I really listened to it and got really hooked on it. After that I decided to check more of them and got quickly hooked on "DVP" and "Sleep in the Heat" and that was that for a while until again I wanted to listen to more so I just played the second album entirely and as soon as I noticed that the first song "If This Tour Doesn't Kill You, I Will" ended while continuing to "DVP" I was instantly sold(I'm a sucker for that), quickly got hooked on the whole album and have been listening to it none stop and the first one as well. "The Dream is Over" has been one of the quickest albums I have instantly bought with no second thought, it's just to damn addictive, I am glad I got hooked with them and can't wait to see what else they have to offer, hope to see them in concert real soon. Highly recommend this band if you're into punk.
