Problems

The Get Up Kids

Polished indie rock that trades youthful angst for midlife reflection. Warm, melodic, and anchored by the band's signature heart-on-sleeve vulnerability.

It's the sound of the emo kids you loved in high school finally figuring out their thirties.

A mature, self-reflective collection that balances the energy of indie-punk with the wisdom of middle age.

Your Ghost Is Gone

3:48

Moments Worth Waiting For

The driving, classic-sounding synth melody that opens Satellite, bridging the gap between their past and present

The stark, piano-led vulnerability of Your Ghost Is Gone that closes the album on an uncharacteristically somber note

The way the vocal harmonies lock in during the chorus of The Problem Is Me, sounding more refined than their early work
