One hot summer, a while ago, I almost exclusively listened to an album called ‘Something to Write Home About’ by an awesome band called The Get Up Kids. I was a whiney teenager and they wrote music I could relate to, man.
Ten years on, and a breakup and reunion later, the band it seems have done more growing up than I have. Any hints of their melodic punk roots appear to have been eradicated. All that remain are great hooks, good ideas and slick production. This ‘Shatter Your Lungs’ video from the latest album ‘There Are Rules’ illustrates the point.
The band have also confirmed a 10-date co-headlining tour with the legendary Saves The Day. The run begins June 2 in Palatine, Illinois, and continues through June 12 in Allentown, Pennsylvania
‘There Are Rules‘ was released earlier this year through Quality Hill Records.
