Today, Toronto punk rockers Pup unveiled the music video for “Get Dumber,” featuring none other than Jeff Rosenstock.
The track serves as the third single from their highly anticipated album, Who Will Look After The Dogs?, set to drop on May 2, 2025, via Little Dipper in Canada and Rise Record internationally.
“Get Dumber” is a high-octane, anthemic punk rager, packed with the band’s signature chaotic energy and Rosenstock’s unmistakable presence.
About the track by Pup:
Stefan Babcock says of the song, “I wrote ‘Get Dumber’ in Jeff’s basement.
I was house sitting for him while he was on tour. I recorded the first demo for it on his guitar using his mics and his computer.
Maybe because the ghost of Jeff was in the room with me, I always imagined our voices on this song together, so I was very happy when he agreed to sing on it.
“We recorded the vocals together, in the same room, facing each other.
What that means is, we both had to nail it at the same time because we couldn’t really cut between takes.
On the first take, he forgot a line in the second verse and said “ahhhhhh, lyrics” instead.
I couldn’t finish the take because I was laughing too hard.
Anyway, he practiced singing the correct lyrics but then we decided those lyrics kinda sucked and he should just stick to “ahhhh lyrics” because it’s funny and the song is called Get Dumber.
We nailed it on the second take.”
