"Get Dumber", the latest single from Toronto punk band Pup's forthcoming fifth LP, Who Will Look After The Dogs? is out today, featuring fellow punk veteran Jeff Rosenstock.

Pup frontman Stefan Babcock says of the song,

 “I wrote 'Get Dumber' in Jeff’s basement. I was house sitting for him while he was on tour. 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. We recorded the vocals together, in the same room, facing each other. What that means is, we both had to nail it at the same time because we couldn’t really cut between takes. 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. Anyway, he practiced singing the correct lyrics but then 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. We nailed it on the second take.”

Along with the single's release, the two acts will be hitting the road together on a co-headline tour this fall in an attempt to redeem themselves from the disasters that plagued them the last time they toured together 10 years ago. These dates will feature support from DC band Ekko Astral.

That 2015 tour saw Jeff’s van break down twice, Stefan falling face first into a pile of cactuses while hiking with Jeff and his face and hands swelled up to gigantic proportions, the sold out Denver show getting cancelled because a blizzard stranded both bands in Wyoming, Steve eating a weird gas station sandwich when they were stuck in Wyoming and ended up with food poisoning, spewing out of both ends, all of Jeff’s gear getting stolen out of his broken down van, and PUP cancelling the last week of shows because Stefan ruptured a vocal cord.

Taking inspiration from the band Los Campesinos, the co-headline tour dates will have $20 box office tickets available in an attempt to make the shows more affordable and accessible to people who may not have the disposable income for standard price tickets.
