The Sonic Risks of PUP and Rico Nasty
PUP, a Canadian punk rock band, and Rico Nasty, a rapper, are breaking all the rules with their new albums.
The punk rockers, whose name stands for Pathetic Use of Potential, have released their fifth studio album, titled Who Will Look After the Dogs? The album focuses on relationships, particularly the bad ones.
The first verse of this blistering 35-minute record is: “Staring into the void now / You’re going down with the ship / You’re taking me with you / I don’t need to resist, it’s just what it is.
PUP has always been forthright about the themes of their albums, including their breakout second album, The Dream Is Over, and their punk-rock classic Morbid Stuff.
