The Get Up Kids – Something to Write Home About – CD
(Vagrant Records) I’ve seen a lot of press about The Get Up Kids and after hearing this disc I now know why. They play a great blend of emo and punk-pop with piano and keyboards mixed in to give it an updated ‘80s feel. Their lyrics primarily focus on relationships and breaking up…loves lost and lessons learned…the rest have positive messages about life in general. Their lyrics are clever and not only flow well, but create brilliant images. Two songs “My Apology” and “Valentine” feature great two part vocals on the choruses. A great band that is worthy of the press they are receiving.
