PUP have announced their highly anticipated forthcoming album’ ‘Who Will Look After The Dogs?’, due out on 02 May 2025 via Little Dipper / Rise Records.

The full-length was made over the course of three weeks in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton, and finds self-deprecating frontman Stefan Babcock at his most reflective, vulnerable and prolific.

The band have also dropped the album’s lead single ‘Hallways’, which is the first song Babcock wrote for the album.

“Within days of announcing our last album, coincidentally titled The Unraveling of PUPTHEBAND, my life unexpectedly imploded. I wrote the lyrics for ‘Hallways’ while all that was going on. It was a weird fucking week,” says Babcock. “The title of our new record, Who Will Look After The Dogs?, is what I wrote at the top of the page, the very first thing written for this album. I think it’s devastating, but in a ‘holy shit this is overdramatic’ kinda way. At least in context of the line that comes before it. That’s what makes it funny to us. That overblown stuff we all say in our dark moments can be hilarious once you’ve cooled off a bit. I don’t know if anyone else thinks it’s funny, but sometimes you gotta laugh at yourself. It’s the only way out of the abyss. Trust me.”

The track is accompanied by an official music video, directed by Sterling Larose.
