Canada, oh Canada. PUP and The OBGMs, both hailing from our neighboring country, invaded the Fête Music Hall in Providence last weekend. The OBGMs started off the show by declaring they were a folk band, but then tore up the stage with punk rock vigor. There were multiple stops during this performance to remind the crowd of Fete’s “no moshing, no crowd-surfing” rules, which was hard to enforce as the energetic, genuinely fun set made everyone in the room want to jump around. That same vibe wasn’t lost when PUP came out to a fueled-up crowd. Fans screamed along to songs like “Totally Fine” and “Morbid Stuff” with fists pumping the air. The band also featured songs from their newest album, THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND. Despite the title, PUP performed like they had it all together and played an enjoyable set.
