You know you're in trouble when the best tunes on your album are covers.

The Get Up Kids — There Are Rules

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 27, 2011 3:51 pm
Let's just get this aside right from the start and move on: The Get Up Kids will never equal the greatness of their 1999 Something To Write Home About sophomore album. It's an emo classic from the years before "emo" was a trend and before it became a pejorative term. There Are Rules is probably not going to be that kind of record when one looks...

Geoff Berner's new album, Victory Party, will come out March 8 through his new label, Mint Records. He's finished with his Whiskey Rabbi trilogy of albums, but don't be surprised if there's plenty of klezmer and songs about drinking on it anyway.

Get Up Kids Apologize For Emo

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 27, 2009 4:18 pm
It could be argued that Rites Of Spring, Guy Picciotto's pre-Fugazi act, were the first emo band. That said, The Get Up Kids are one of the main influences of today's buckets of guyliner-wearing, tortured poetry-writing emo bands. And now they've apologized for it.
