Episode 26 of Neighborhood Play Podcast features a discussion with Steve Sladkowski of Canadian punk band PUP. PUP have rightfully earned the reputation of being one of the hardest working bands in music, and the only thing they work harder on than ripping shows is their sports takes.   Steve took time out of his busy schedule of shredding and drinking to talk about the Toronto Raptors and how they impact Toronto and Canada’s culture. We discuss at length the history of Canadian basketball (Steve Nash! Anthony Bennett!), Drake’s role with the Raptors, and the incredibly dope purple dino jerseys of yesteryear.   Additionally, we got real and talked about Punk Stuff. PUP are proud to be an earnest and hard-working punk band, and we discussed one of the most important venues in punk today: the Masquerade in Atlanta. The Masquerade hosts the annual Wrecking Ball Festival, treats its bands incredibly well, and is home to the world’s greatest celebrity corgi, Punk Rock Milo.
