The Dream Is Over

The Dream Is Over is the second album by Canadian punk rock band PUP, released on May 27, 2016, through Royal Mountain Records in Canada and SideOneDummy Records worldwide. The album was recorded with the financial support of Canada's Private Radio Broadcasters. The album title comes from the doctor of lead singer Stefan Babcock, after the doctor found out about a problem with Babcock's vocal cords.

The song "DVP" was featured in the video game Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. The band themselves also make a cameo in the game.
