PUP have shared a fourth track from their new album.

Offering raw, ferocious bursts of fuzzed-out guitar alongside quieter moments, Olive Garden follows Get Dumber featuring Jeff Rosenstock, Hallways and Paranoid in previewing 'Who Will Look After The Dogs?'. Head below to view the accompanying video, created by PUP bassist Nestor Chumak. Vocalist-guitarist Stefan Babcock said:

"This is a very stupid, but also wonderful song. The band get all the credit for turning it into something really special. Zack (who plays drums) heard my cute little acoustic guitar demo and decided we should try and make it as heavy as possible. Which is objectively, a very annoying thing to suggest. But you know what, I’m glad I kept my stupid mouth shut, because it works. There’s a real magic in the way these sweet vocal melodies are bludgeoned by a wall of disgusting, grinding, detuned guitars. The whole song is kinda upsetting and uncomfortable but also, catchy and fun. And I don’t care what anyone says, ‘Olive Garden’ rhymes with ‘Grandma in a coffin’ –  listen to this crap and tell me I’m wrong."

The follow-up to 2022's 'THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND' will arrive this Friday (May 2) via Little Dipper/Rise Records. Ahead of the release, the Toronto four-piece will bring Olive Garden to Canada on Thursday (May 1) for an album launch party featuring a short live set from the band, Olive Garden-inspired music, decor, and food from Matty Matheson’s Rizzo’s House of Parm.

PUP will tour the UK and Europe in May, before a handful of hometown shows in July, and Australia and New Zealand gigs in August. They'll also team up with Rosenstock for a co-headline tour of the US in the fall, which they've billed as PUP + Jeff Rosenstock Present: A Cataclysmic Rapture Of Friendshipness, before a Canadian headline tour with Snotty Nose Rez Kids in November and December.
