Compass & Cavern release “Puppies (Smile Back)”

Written before COVID changed the world, “Puppies” is Compass & Cavern’s commentary on being an introvert in an extrovert’s world. Paying homage to Canadian act PUP, the song utilizes interesting rhythms to break the mould of the standard 4/4 song and give the listener a unique experience.

Though the song reminds me quite a bit of PUP, I also find that the band brought in their own unique twist on the sound, so it’s a refreshing and original sounding take – rather than a carbon copy.

As you’re listening, don’t forget to smile back… Because what monster doesn’t smile at the sight (or sound) of a puppy, right?

PUP – Free At Last

Canadian punks PUP are building up to the release of their new album, Morbid Stuff in quite an interesting way. Prior to the release of the second single on the album, “Free At Last”, the band posted the chords and lyrics online and asked fans to cover the song without having ever heard it before.

253 different versions of the song were submitted, and PUP mashed them up into one hilariously amazing video. Skip to 1:25 if you want to get straight to the PUP version of the song, otherwise enjoy the various takes other people had on it!

Morbid Stuff drops on April 5th, and you can pre-order/pre-save it now. Please also follow the band on Facebook!
