Add Date: February 1
Artist: The Get Up Kids
Album: There Are Rules
Label: Quality Hill
Genre: Indie, pop-punk
Comments: The '90s indie/pop-punk superstars The Get Up Kids have gotten back together and released a fantastic record. Led by Mathew Pryor (also of The New Amsterdams and Reggie and the Full Effect), the band broke up in 2005 after a series of lackluster album releases. There Are Rules serves as a major pivot for these indie rock legends. The album is comprised of sounds that are both unmistakably '90s-Get Up Kids-esque and totally fresh, bizarre, and brand new for the group.
The type of bands that break up and later reunite to produce another album almost never perform up to par with their "new" sound. This is simply not the case for this new release from The Get Up Kids. The perfect mixture of teen angst, '90s punk, and the new millennium's production quality and rhythm make this album worth listening to. Start with tracks 1, 2 and 5.
