Pup & Destroy Boys

at METRO Over the past decade, PUP have thrived on volatility. Its not really a joke when the Toronto punks release songs like If This Tour Doesnt Kill You, I Will or put out albums called The Unraveling of PUPTHEBAND. Though its four members are all best friends, creative dysfunction and interpersonal friction make their snarling and self-deprecating songs thrilling. To their shock and occasional dismay, its why their albums are critically acclaimed and the crowds at their galvanizing live shows have only grown. It hasnt gone off the rails yet but it definitely could. The possibility it could all blow up at any second is the bands magic. Named as one of Spotifys 2024 New Noise Artists To Watch, Destroy Boys have no intention of slowing down. Punk rock might have been the force that brought Destroy Boys together, but its far from the only touchstone for their music. From their first record through their fourth, they have continued to write and sing about what they know and drive fans to notice them. School drama and elitist cliques encountered in their teens have given way to the pain of relationships and the inherent feelings of misunderstanding and isolation that is all too common for young people navigating a hybrid of physical and digital worlds. The band has recently toured with some of the most legendary groups in pop-punk, from Blink-182 to Pierce The Veil RIOT FEST LATE NIGHT: PUP & DESTROY BOYS
