The Pickup

Bands and new music for fans of PUP

Elon (Take Me Home)

by Rawls Royce

Our music is political but doesn’t shy away from reminding listeners how close they are to dying in a beer covered sweater.
We're a band about getting drunk on Sunday night and holding yourself together for work Monday morning.

For fans of

Dream Boy

by Beach Bunny

"Dream Boy" was inspired by summer love - it is a song about being jaded to the idea of falling for someone again after being heartbroken in the past. It's about giving into the butterflies in your stomach even when love seems so scary at times.

For fans of

Dwell

by Split Feed

Hey! We're Split Feed from Newcastle in Australia, and this is our new single 'Dwell'. It's about the struggles that come with the ending of relationships, and what we do to try and forget them. It's our favourite release yet and features our rockiest rock guitar solo yet. Hope you enjoy!

For fans of

Pink Leather Jackets

With the age of online “please-screw-me” dating apps, infidelity seems to be trendy so “Shed” is inspired by the perspective of “the other man” who is fed up with his lying three-timing side. Feel free to break shit while listening to this song.

For fans of

Spirit of the Wildfire

We are Spirit of the Wildfire, a dynamic punk band that blends styles from hiphop to punk, dubbing the sound "Funk-Punk". We've just released the first single off of our third album, a fun and catchy pop punk tune called "Static".

Paper/Boy

We're Paper/Boy, a young indie-punk four-piece hailing from Derry City in Northern Ireland. Having formed in 2017, we've gained an amazing local fanbase after playing shows full of guitar-heavy indie anthems, inspired by the likes of Car Seat Headrest and PUP. Hopefully y'all like us! :)

For fans of

Hounding

Hey all, we're a Kent based band that play loud fuzzy music "Likened to grunge and sludge bands of a mostly bygone era, Hounding pairs thick visceral riffing with morose and ariose Corgan-esque howling in the unholiest of matrimony"

For fans of

SMUG

A musical powder keg three parts power pop, indie rock and pop punk, detonated by wild abandon – we are SMUG – high-octane guitar solos, jubilant hooks and slacker anthems inspire much headbanging, high-kicking, and windmilling.

Norphlet

Hey guys, we're Norphlet, an alt-rock duo operating 1,400 miles apart. We've just released our debut EP, full of infectious riffs, singing harmonies, and dynamic, energetic drumming. Give it a listen!

Forever Unclean

We formed in early 2015 and have been touring all over Europe ever since, playing clubs and smaller festivals, building a following while playing with bands like The Bombpops, Beach Slang, The Smith Street Band, Gnarwolves & Free Throw etc.

Our Lives In Cinema

Hi Everybody, we’re London’s Our Lives In Cinema. Check out our new EP ‘All Talk’ and the song ‘Talk You Up!’ We’re a pop-punk band but more in the Iron Chic, Pup vein of things, but heavily influenced by classic 80’s pop. Hope you’re into it!

For fans of

SOBER

Hey there! We're SOBER and "Fuck It" is the 2nd track off of our debut EP "Mental Decline". If you're sick of having a job, a crappy relationship and no friends then this song is for you...or if you just like punk.
