PUP have had an incredibly fruitful partnership with music video director Jeremy Schaulin-Rioux, including a series of clips featuring Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard (“Guilt Trip”, “Sleep in the Heat”). Their latest collaboration for the The Dream Is Over track “Old Wounds”, however, just may be their masterpiece.

The video is an interactive “choose your own adventure” stylized after 1980s video games. You’re put in the position of the Canadian punks’ new tour manager, and your job is to get the band back to their hotel safely after a gig. After deciding which member you’ll be spending the night with, you’re presented with a series of choices that will determine the fate of the band, your career, and possibly the NBA playoffs.

As a press release puts it, “There are 28 different ways to die, 16 aliens, 10 beers, 5 Eastern Conference NBA playoff team references, and only 4 ways for Stefan, Steve, Nestor and Zack to survive the night.” Frontman Stefan Babcock adds, “We actually each wrote our own individual storylines. From Steve’s sports obsession to Zack’s weirdo sci-fi brain soup, and Nestor’s unnatural love of pizza to me going off the deep end in the wilderness… this video is pure PUP.”

It’s an incredible and inventive journey, and you can click through it up above. PUP’s stuffed tour itinerary will take them on the road with Thursday in December and through Europe at the top of the new year. Check out their itinerary below.
