The Get Up Kids

Four tracks of mature, synth-flecked indie rock. A warm reunion with the architects of Midwest emo, trading teenage angst for thoughtful, adult reflection.

My Own Reflection
Moments Worth Waiting For
The bright, cascading synth melody that opens 'Maybe', signaling a bridge between their lo-fi past and polished present.
The driving, classic Get Up Kids drum fill that kicks 'Better This Way' into a higher gear of melodic urgency.
The vulnerable, slightly cracked vocal delivery in 'I’m Sorry' that proves the band hasn't lost their signature emotional honesty.
