Pup debut fan-assisted video for “Free at Last”
PUP, has shared a new video for Morbid Stuff album track “Free At Last.” The Toronto pop/punk band’s forthcoming release is due out on April 5th via Little Dipper/Rise Records. For the video, “>the band shared the song’s lyrics and chords, with fans. The video was shot on an iPhone for 25$ and features PUP fans, Charly Bliss’ Eva Hendricks, who sings on the original track, as well as Stranger Things and Calpurnia’s Finn Wolfhard.
Pup’s Stefan Babcock on the song and video:
The video for “Free At Last” started off as a very, very stupid concept. Before the song was released, we put out the lyrics and a basic chord chart and asked people to record their own versions without hearing the original first. It was a bit of a social experiment. We expected to receive 15 or 20 covers. We received 253. A lot of them were very… interesting… but most of them were actually really good. We listened to every single one front to back (13 hours and 34 minutes), and by the end our brains were puddles of sludge and we couldn’t remember how our own version sounded.
We received hip hop versions, ska versions, grindcore, EDM, Mariachi, Ukulele, Polka, and piano ballad versions. Incredibly enough, none of the 253 covers sounded like ours. And even more astounding, no two of the covers sounded the same either. The amount of creativity and love put into these things absolutely blew us away.
