Do these guys look familiar? well they should! this band is non other than Topanga or better known now as PUP is Stefan Babcock, Steven Sladkowski, Zack Mykula, and Nestor Chumak. These. Guys. Shred. I can't say enough good things about them or anything else that others haven't already said so I'll just talk about the release, Oceans was released for free digitally in 2010 but was released with an extra song or two for a Japanese release which is what I have for you now. This EP is basically demos of songs we will see in their 2013 self titled album, that being said the sounds and lyrics are changed slightly and it's interesting which parts of the songs they decided to scrap and what they decided was good enough to stay in. I highly recommend this to anyone who's a fan of PUP or punk/ rock in general.
This release is so good that I'm naming three! favorite songs from this 8 song EP
Favorite Tracks : Oceans (fast, rhythmic, raw I really want this to be played live) ,
Sick & Cold (fun sounds and upbeat message for someone who's feeling down, also features female locals which is one of the only PUP songs that feature a female guest vocalist as far as I know)
The Shield ( Upbeat track that sings about coming home to the homeland you love, great song to sing with friends on a night out)
1. Oceans
2. Mabu
3. Lionheart
4. Fogo Island
5. Back Against the Wall
6. Whiskey And Water
7. Sick & Cold
8. The Shield (Acoustic)
