Le groupe de punk rock canadien potentiellement indésirable PUP vient de mettre en ligne le titre Rot, issu de son prochain album This Place Sucks Ass qui sortira le 23 octobre.
« Rot » is an internal dialogue I have with myself constantly. A lot of the songs I write are about my own negative qualities, and it’s given me a bit of a complex. The idea of doing something you love, and being somewhat successful at it, but having that success be tied to your own feelings of inadequacy is a little messed up. At times, it’s turned me into a classic self-sabotager. I want this band to do well, but the better things go, the more I buy into the fact that I’m a complete fuckup. And in turn, the more it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s something about myself I’m really consciously trying to change.
I think I probably explained it best in these lyrics: « I’m doing something productive with my self destruction. It’s the one thing keeping me sane. »
