With their much-hyped new album Morbid Stuff coming out in a few weeks, Canadian punk band Pup made their late-night television debut on Late Night With Seth Meyers Wednesday night. Performing the roaring “Kids,” Pup brought incredible, infectious energy to the Late Night stage.
It’s kind of rare for a punk band to perform on a late-night show (or to be mainstream big enough to get booked on one), but Pup makes a case that it should absolutely happen more often. They sound incredible, and are having so much fun performing the song that you can’t help but want to join in. Punk is a genre that lives on live performances, and it turns out that watching a filmed one still makes you itch to jump into the pit, bounce around, and try not to get stepped on by huge dudes. (Or maybe that’s just me.)
Luckily, Pup has plenty of tour dates booked for the next few months. Check out their upcoming North American dates below, and watch their performance of “Kids” above.
