Released this past November, the saga that director Jeremy Schaolin-Rioux started in PUP’s 2014 video for “Guilt Trip” continued with PUP’s video for “Sleep In The Heat,” starring Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) returning in his role as a young Stefan Babcock. Watch it below.
“The Dream Is Over.” They’re the exact words a doctor spoke to Babcock upon discovering his vocal chords had suffered “pretty aggressive hemorrhaging.” Given that the band played over 450 shows in the last two years in support of its self-titled debut, it’s perhaps not surprising that it happened. But by announcing The Dream Is Over the way they did – onstage at a sold-out show in Brooklyn – PUP proved that the exact opposite is true. The Dream Is Over is visible, visceral proof that the dream is still very much alive.
