PUP’s repping the classics, man.
The Canadian punk rock quartet posted their rendition of the beloved Grandaddy classic “A.M. 180”. You can hear their cover, as well as the original, below.
In a press release, drummer Zack Mykula said, “Grandaddy are one of the unsung hero bands of indie rock. A best kept secret. I mean, forgive me for going ham, but this song is like a lily in an otherwise barren valley. An outstanding piece of songwriting, doing more with less than most any other song of the same caliber. So, that’s why we decided to cover it.”
“A.M. 180” first came out on Grandaddy’s debut album Under The Western Freeway back in 1997 on Will Records and reissued in 1998 on V2 Records (Alice Merton, Mumford & Sons, Tusky). It appeared in various movies and shows like 28 Days Later, Eddsworld, and Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe.
PUP’s cover is available now on Rise Records (blessthefall, Fire From The Gods, Jetty Bones).
