PUP have teamed up with longtime collaborator Jeff Rosenstock for the latest single from their forthcoming album, Who Will Look After the Dogs?. It’s called “Get Dumber” and can be streamed below.
Equally exciting, the two acts have also announced “PUP + JEFF ROSENSTOCK PRESENT: A CATACLYSMIC RAPTURE OF FRIENDSHIPNESS,” a joint US tour this fall, with punk rockers Ekko Astral serving as support. The outing kicks off in September, and features major shows in Chicago, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Denver.
A Live Nation ticket pre-sale for select dates is set for Wednesday, March 26th at 10:00 a.m. local time (use code FUNKY) via Ticketmaster, with a public on-sale following on Friday, March 28 at 10:00 a.m. local time. A limited number of “low-income” tickets, priced at $20, will available at each stop’s box office (with the exception of Minneapolis, San Antonio, Austin and Salt Lake City, where they will be sold at alternate locations). Head to PUP’s or Rosenstock’s social media accounts to learn more.

PUP frontman Stefan Babcock said he wrote “Get Dumber” while house sitting for Rosenstock. “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.”
Babcock continued, “We recorded the vocals together, in the same room, facing each other… 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… 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.’”
Back in February, PUP announced their fifth album, Who Will Look After the Dogs?, which is out May 2nd via Little Dipper/Rise Records. The album includes previously released singles “Paranoid” and “Hallways.” Rosenstock’s latest album, HELLMODE was released in 2023. Check out all the tour dates below.
