"With each subsequent tour, PUP and Jeff Rosenstock's respective scopes continue to grow. Between well-received albums and increasingly dedicated fanbases, both acts have been able to fill bigger venues just about every time they embark on a new run (and deservingly so, might we add). Fortunately, they've also managed to successfully scale their high-energy stage show with each jump, retaining a sense of intimacy even as the crowds grow more expansive."
"Over the past weekend, the acts graced the outdoor stage at Chicago's Salt Shed (along with opening act Ekko Astral) to put on what just might be one of the most fun-loving programs of the year. I mean, Rosenstock walked out to the theme from Friends, PUP did so to Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie," and the night ended with a double-band set that culminated in a ripping cover of the Alanis Morissette classic "You Oughta Know,""
PUP and Jeff Rosenstock have expanded their scopes, filling progressively larger venues while maintaining high-energy, intimate stage shows. The joint "A CATACLYSMIC RAPTURE OF FRIENDSHIPNESS" tour blends DIY ethos with pop-punk intensity. At Chicago's Salt Shed, Rosenstock entered to the Friends theme and PUP to Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie," concluding with a double-band set and a ripping cover of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." Rosenstock's set included deep-cut opener "The Lows," singalong "Nausea," the full second-half suite from WORRY., saxophone solos, and a Bomb the Music Industry! cover during which an audience member got engaged. The performances balanced surprises with fan favorites and energetic mosh pits.
