The Get Up Kids: Something To Write Home About at 25

The Get Up Kids: Something To Write Home About at 25

The Get Up Kids‘ classic 1999 album Something To Write Home About turns 25 this year, and the band is celebrating with an expanded reissue and a tour, and for the occasion, co-leaders Matt Pryor and Jim Suptic joined us on the BrooklynVegan podcast for an hour-long reflection on the album. They reminisced about how they evolved from their very humble beginnings and their 1997 debut album Four Minute Mile into the band that wrote one of the most influential emo albums of all time just two years later, the label feeding frenzy that followed Four Minute Mile‘s success and the decision to go with then-little-known label Vagrant, the longer demoing process that helped make Something To Write Home About a much more refined album than its predecessor (and that’s being immortalized with the second disc of demos included with this new reissue), their headlining STWHA tour with openers At the Drive-In, their 2001 support tours for Green Day and Weezer, the mainstream emo boom that Something To Write Home About heavily inspired and that The Get Up Kids moved away from with 2002’s On A Wire, and more.
