Constantly self-aware and delivering rousing punk sing-a-longs,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Who Will Look After The Dogs?&#8217;<\/em> is considered to be a cathartic record. After all, this is a band with a tendency to be dysfunctional. Nevertheless, frontman and chief songwriter Stefan Babcock is reflective on\u00a0<strong>PUP<\/strong>&#8216;s fifth LP. Reminiscing on his younger years, his bouts of self-loathing, and the realisation of ownership of his life,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Who Will Look After The Dogs?&#8217;<\/em> is a chronological tale of Babcock&#8217;s personal growth.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;No Hope&#8217;<\/em> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Olive Garden&#8217;<\/em> deliver a one-two punch of two-minute fuzz-laden punk. Themeatically, it sets the self-loathing tone with Babcock singing <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t need her, It&#8217;s killing me&#8221;<\/em> on the opener, before\u00a0<em>&#8216;Olive Garden&#8217;<\/em> sees him stood up by an ex-love. It&#8217;s backed by a wall of noise, intersliced by &#8217;50s doo-wop flourishes.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Concrete&#8217;<\/em> bounces due to Nestor Chumak&#8217;s bass work and Steve Sladkowski&#8217;s dulcet guitar riff, leading to one of\u00a0<em>&#8216;Who Will Look After\u2026&#8217;<\/em> biggest choruses. Later cuts such as <em>&#8216;Needed To Hear It&#8217;<\/em> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Cruel&#8217;<\/em> exemplify\u00a0<strong>PUP<\/strong>&#8216;s knack for delivering hooks. Meanwhile, <em>&#8216;Get Dumber&#8217; <\/em>sees Jeff Rosenstock join in to provide an energetic whirlwind of driving guitars and pounding percussion, only for\u00a0<em>&#8216;Hunger For Death&#8217;<\/em>s succulent opening to rein things in. As Babcock sings <em>&#8220;F*ck everyone on this planet, except for you,&#8221;<\/em> against a backdrop of lo-fi strings, it bursts with a swinging tempo. Babcock&#8217;s mood is equally bittersweet and self-deprecating.<\/p>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s not instantaneous, <em>&#8216;Who Will Look After\u2026&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>sees\u00a0<strong>PUP<\/strong> at questionably their most varied, expanding their sonic palette.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Paranoid&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>has the fingerprints of post-hardcore, maintaining a familiar scrappy energy, only for\u00a0<em>&#8216;Falling Outta Love&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>to counter its gut-punch with shuffling percussion, harmonious backing vocals, and layered build.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Hallways&#8217;<\/em> sees Babcock in an\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">optimistic yet raw mood as he provides a cutting break-up number. Even though he&#8217;s dealing with the end of a relationship, he sees light at the end of the tunnel:\u00a0<em>&#8220;Cause when one door closes, it might never open, There might be no other doors.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>Penultimate track,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Best Revenge,&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>keeps up the optimism, adding celebratory gang vocals as he goes about\u00a0<em>&#8220;living well&#8221;<\/em>. Ultimately, it is <\/span><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Babcock&#8217;s self-awareness is the glue that keeps\u00a0<em>&#8216;Who Will Look After\u2026&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>thematically together. It&#8217;s partnered with a unified sound that is\u00a0<strong>PUP<\/strong> at its core,<\/span> yet evolved.<\/p>\n<p>Clouded with regret and the occasional hints of hope, <em>&#8216;Who Will Look After The Dogs?&#8217;<\/em> is considerably\u00a0<strong>PUP<\/strong> at their most vulnerable. However, it&#8217;s allowed them to add depth to an already reliable discography.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"Acres\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-98797\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Acres-800x563.webp\" alt=\"Acres\" width=\"800\" height=\"563\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Acres-800x563.webp 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Acres-300x211.webp 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Acres-768x540.webp 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Acres.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Acres &#8211; The Host<\/h2>\n<p>Call me old-fashioned, but is it an album if there are only seven tracks? Nevertheless, that&#8217;s what <strong>Acres<\/strong> serve up on their third album,\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Host&#8217;<\/em>. The South Coast quartet hopped over to Michigan to work with The Plot In You frontman Landon Tewers on this rather brief outing. Towing the fine line between alt-metal and metalcore, it sees\u00a0<strong>Acres<\/strong> aiming to break out from the pack, yet it doesn&#8217;t quite achieve that.<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Host&#8217;<\/em> removes any resemblance of filler from its track listing, it still doesn&#8217;t put them in a positive light. Like many bands of their kind, the Portsmouth band struggles to provide a solid identity. Sure, there are heavy moments such as <em>&#8216;Built To Bleed&#8217;, <\/em>partly thanks to dense drum work and Ben Lumber&#8217;s blaring, distorted vocals. However, it&#8217;s countered by the towering alt-metal of\u00a0<em>&#8216;Staring At The Sun\u2019\u00a0<\/em>and melodically strong\u00a0<em>&#8216;Your Goodbye&#8217;<\/em>. Both put Lumber&#8217;s tuneful abilities to the forefront, yet his voice isn&#8217;t distinct enough. Musically, they&#8217;re both admirable, with the latter leaning into a heavy pop-rock pacing.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t try to stir things up.\u00a0<strong>Acres<\/strong> do their best to show they&#8217;re more than\u00a0<em>another<\/em> metalcore band.\u00a0\u00a0<em>&#8216;Bloodlust&#8217;<\/em> bubbles with an intense electronic pulse and a throbbing, down-tuned breakdown. Likewise, <em>&#8216;Steal the Light&#8217;<\/em> utilises glitchy electronics in its verses, making its bursting choruses more impactful.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Not So Different&#8217;<\/em> provides an Architects-esque arena-metalcore chorus that equally melodically soars and crushingly stomps. Closing track,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Around Again&#8217;<\/em> delicately takes an atmospheric pop ballad route, with sharp guitars coming in the later stages. These experimental tropes are welcomed, if not entirely unique.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being filtered down,\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Host&#8217;<\/em> does allow\u00a0<strong>Acres<\/strong> to expand and add layers to their brand of metalcore. However, it still doesn&#8217;t quite pull them out of the mire of similar bands doing the same thing. It&#8217;s clear they have ambition, versatility, and some hefty hooks, yet it&#8217;s not fully realised on this outing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98798\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98798\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"pressclub\" class=\"size-large wp-image-98798\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Press-Club-Credit-Nick-Manuell-PC89-800x494.webp\" alt=\"Press Club (cropped) Photo Credit: Nick Manuell\" width=\"800\" height=\"494\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Press-Club-Credit-Nick-Manuell-PC89-800x494.webp 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Press-Club-Credit-Nick-Manuell-PC89-300x185.webp 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Press-Club-Credit-Nick-Manuell-PC89-768x475.webp 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Press-Club-Credit-Nick-Manuell-PC89.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98798\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Nick Manuell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Press Club &#8211; To All The Ones That I Love<\/h2>\n<p>There has always been something likeable about Aussie indie-punks <strong>Press Club<\/strong>. Maybe it&#8217;s the soulful, magnetic voice of Natalie Foster, or her heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics, or her bandmates&#8217; textured and earnest sound, or it&#8217;s a combination of all of that and more. Having been silent for three years, their fourth album, <em>&#8216;To All The Ones That I Love&#8217;<\/em>, sees the Naarm\/Melbourne quartet step out as an independent band.<\/p>\n<p>From the outset,\u00a0<strong>Press Club<\/strong> are in full flow with very little at fault.\u00a0 &#8216;<em>I Am Everything&#8217;<\/em> sets the album&#8217;s honest tone, resonating with warmth and jangling instrumentation. <em>&#8216;Wilt&#8217;<\/em> rings with a power-pop charm and is paired with vulnerable words of\u00a0<em>&#8220;I\u2019ve lost, lost all the motivation, to waste my time&#8221;<\/em>.\u00a0 <em>&#8216;Champagne &amp; Nikes&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>is vibrantly reminiscent of longtime favourite <em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LagxmlvBvEI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;Headwreck,&#8217;<\/a> <\/em>partly thanks to the rhymic pairing of bassist Iain Macrae and drummer Frank Lee. <em>&#8216;Wasted Days&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>melodically shines, drenched in late summer harmonies.<\/p>\n<p>If you were to take the first five or six tracks from <em>&#8216;TATOTIL,&#8217;<\/em> you&#8217;d be left with an outstanding EP. That&#8217;s not to say the second half isn&#8217;t terrible.\u00a0<em>&#8216;No Pressure&#8217;<\/em> pounds with Foster&#8217;s distinct accent, a rigid bass line, and sonically swirling guitars, before\u00a0<em>&#8216;Vacate&#8217;<\/em> arrives as the album&#8217;s centrepiece. Its steady, plucky build finds the perfect balance between\u00a0<strong>Press Club<\/strong>&#8216;s punk tendencies and sincere songwriting, pulling you in. It also allows Foster&#8217;s emotive vocals to be put to the forefront. This also happens on the album closer, <em>&#8216;Desolation&#8217;<\/em>. Taking a steadier approach, it exemplifies\u00a0<strong>Press Club<\/strong>&#8216;s tight-knit sound.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the blend of breezy pop melodies with an assured indie-punk foundation makes\u00a0<em>&#8216;To All The Ones That I Love&#8217;<\/em> a much-welcomed return for <strong>Press Club<\/strong>. Add to that its raw lyrical substance, and you&#8217;re left with an album that&#8217;s well worth spending time with.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"list\">What is out on #NewMusicFriday?<\/h2>\n<p>PUP &#8211; Who Will Look After The Dogs?<br \/>\nTurnover &#8211; Peripheral Vision (10th anniversary)<br \/>\nKnuckle Puck &#8211; Copacetic (Remixed\/Remastered)<br \/>\nAcres &#8211; The Host<br \/>\nPropagandhi &#8211; At Peace<br \/>\nPress Club &#8211; To All The Ones That I Love<br \/>\nSlung &#8211; In Ways<br \/>\nfallfiftyfeet &#8211; Counterfeit Recollections<br \/>\nParadise Slaves &#8211; With Hell In His Eyes<br \/>\nPuddle Of Mudd &#8211; Kiss The Machine<br \/>\nLights &#8211; A6<br \/>\nYour Spirit Dies &#8211; My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest<br \/>\nKnives &#8211; Glitter<br \/>\nJarki Monno &#8211; Not What It Looks Like<br \/>\nTeens in Trouble and Bat Boy &#8211; Split EP<br \/>\nRegal Cheer &#8211; Quite Good<br \/>\nClub Night &#8211; Joy Coming Down<br \/>\nBlondshell &#8211; If You Asked For A Picture<br \/>\nCar Seat Headrest &#8211; The Scholars<br \/>\nPARCS &#8211; Sleepless<br \/>\nvide &#8211; decorated in spiderweb<br \/>\nTumble &#8211; Lost In Light<br \/>\nAAWKS &#8211; On Through The Sky Maze<br \/>\nRecall The Remains &#8211; Revenant<br \/>\nDemonic Death Judge &#8211; Absolutely Launched<br \/>\nRATS &#8211; Rule The World<br \/>\nRikki Rakki &#8211; Sing, Cicadas!<br \/>\nBen Basile &#8211; Benergy<br \/>\nMelting &#8211; You Exist Because We Allow It<br \/>\nGlass Caves &#8211; Back To Earth<br \/>\nBleed &#8211; Bleed<br \/>\nMovieland &#8211; Now &amp; Then<\/p>\n<p><em id=\"playlist\">If you think I&#8217;ve missed something or have a new album\/EP\/song to tell us about, tell us about it <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/already-heard-playlist-release-submission\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: #NewMusicFriday\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/5QJ3ivfXxJG8bc1CvaAjzy?si=a152801622704497&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the latest tracks focusing on rock, punk, hardcore, metal, emo, and everything in between, then check out our <em>&#8216;Newish Music&#8217;<\/em> playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/newishmusic\">Spotify<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/newishmusicAM\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today sees releases from PUP, Acres, Propagandhi, Press Club, Slung, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98796,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2329,161],"tags":[17572],"class_list":["post-98795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-playlists","tag-newmusicfriday"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
