PUP (an acronym for “Pathetic Use of Potential”) is a punk quartet from Toronto, Canada that combines hard-hitting instrumentals with anthemic choruses.

Originally named Topanga, the group formed in 2010 and released their first album, Oceans two years later. In 2013, they changed their name to PUP and released their eponymous debut album under the new name.

PUP consists of Stefan Babcock on lead vocals and guitar, Steve Sladkowski on guitar, Nestor Chumak on bass, and Zack Mykula on drums.
