The Get Up Kids

[Ganondorf]

Anyone care to enlighten me to this band, I've got a few songs like ''Don't Hate Me'', which are really good, but anyone wanna reccomend albums or other specifc songs which are good? Also just generally talk about them in here.

I'm also liking the singer's new band, The New Amsterdams at the moment :D

[Jessizzle]

i like the get up kids, but havnt listened to them in like a year or more..

[slep]

I got Something to Write Home About on Tuesday. Great album.

[CommieCanada]

[Mute Print]

Something To Write Home About is my favorite Get Up Kids album, but eveything I've heard from them is really good.


Seriously one of the best bands of all-time.

[Gnarmageddon]

On a Wire >

[punkerdan]

On a wire is dope
my fave songs that haven´t already been mentioned are
Mass Pike
Campfire Kansas

[TakeWarning]

Something To Write Home About is probably the best place to start if you're getting into this band. My favourite pop-punk album of all time.

[The Jungler]

I still need to get Something to Write Home About. All the isolated Get Up Kids tracks I've heard are really cool.

[lunchforthesky]

Get Something to Write Home About.


...."What Became of Everyone I Used to Know!!!"

[team_racket]

Last Night On The Masss Piiiiiikkkkkeeee

[B]

best band ever debut cd is best

(four minute mile)

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Good Lord, I keep meaning to check these guys out, and always forget. Can someone remind/force me to check 'em out tomorrow?

[shugzz]

Something to Write Home About is classic.

I bought one of their shirts last week from blue collar distro, it was a little expensive but meh.

[irtehmitchell]

Four Minute Mile and Something to Write Home About are my favorite of their releases, but really everything they've done is great.

[RetiredAt21]

This is one of those bands that I just never understood. Seriously, this band just sounds really whiney and pussified to me.

[Grohlthegreat]

someone upload their best cd on ppdu

[Boilermaker]

This is one of those bands that I just never understood. Seriously, this band just sounds really whiney and pussified to me.

I thought you liked the first TBS album?

And you're calling TGUK whiney and pussified?

LOL.

[RetiredAt21]

TBS is so much better than TGUK. No comparison.

[B]

Haha I'm a big TBS fan too but no, not really :/

[hey, you're not cory!]

They're okay.

I prefer Hot Rod Circuit.

[bottlerocket]

I hate Hot Rod Circuit.

TGUK >>> HRC

TBS (TAYF TBS only) > TGUK

[Ganondorf]

Tell All Your Friends is really good but the other albums sound the same as alot of the other stuff out there.

[B]

The Get Up Kids are better than other other band discussed in this forum.

=]

[hey, you're not cory!]

Louder Now is just as good as Tell All Your Friends.

Hot Rod Circuit's Sorry About Tomorrow serioulsy destroys all that The Get Up Kids have ever thought of doing.

[B]

Louder Now is just as good as Tell All Your Friends.

Hot Rod Circuit's Sorry About Tomorrow serioulsy destroys all that The Get Up Kids have ever thought of doing.

LOL no.

To both things.

Louder Now is good but not even close to TAYF. At the same time though TAYF is mad overrated.

I don't even know what to say to the second part, I can't fathom why anyone would even think that :/

[neverender]

dl the song 'washington square park'

first guk song i heard which was years ago and i still listen to it now... its kind of a bad recording and mixing quality on that album bit it just works, i dont think it would even be as good if it was recorded differently.

eta: ****, all the abbreiviations in this thread lol... :/ no idea whats going on!

[hey, you're not cory!]

Louder Now is an excellent album. I don't see why everyone hates it so much.

Get Up Kids are really overrated.

[bottlerocket]

^ Louder Now is way better than WYWTB by far but it pales in comparison to TAYF.

Then again, TBS was a totally different band when they wrote TAYF so, all things considered, I really like Louder Now.

[B]

Louder Now isn't better than WYWTB lol.

WYWTB is good people just don't like it because it's right after john left

[Grohlthegreat]

hello get up kids thread...

[hey, you're not cory!]

WYWTB is good, I have no quarrels with it other than a 2 really bad tracks.

But seriously, Louder Now is a really mature and enjoyable album and I don't see why its such a sin to say its as good as TAYF.

[lunchforthesky]

TBS only really have one good album.

[Ganondorf]

That album is pretty amazing though. Shame they changed, although it wasn't really a musical change. I dunno what happened, but they seem so different now. Must have been John Nolan/Shaun Cooper.

[irtehmitchell]

If you seriously think TBS is better then TGUK you should leave any type of Pop-Punk forum.

[EightMilesHigh]

I've only heard the song Valentine but I like it. What album should I buy if I want MOAR

[Grohlthegreat]

Sure why not.

[Grohlthegreat]

thanks alot :)

[musicislove05]

my favorite song of theirs is "like a man possessed".. so good!

[Milo in college]

"Holiday" is my favorite. So good

[sk8er31191]

thats weird everyone says here that they liked something to write about the most but i really seemed to like guilt show more than anything, something to write about is good but i just seemed to really like the vocals especially in guilt show more, anyone else feel the same?

[B]

no, no one feels the same

[RissaPoodle]

This reminds me that I was supposed to do an FA about The Get Up Kids like a year ago. Shame on me.

[Triangle]

something to write home about is the best.

Yeha they're all my favourite of theirs too.

[The Post Scripts]

Something to Write Home About is a great album. My personal favorite from the album is "My Apology"... I seem to relate to the lyrics too well =/
