About The Get Up Kids
The Get Up Kids formed in Kansas City in 1995 around Matt Pryor and guitarist Jim Suptic, with brothers Rob and Ryan Pope as rhythm section. The debut 'Four Minute Mile' was fast and raw. Keyboardist James Dewees, also of Reggie and the Full Effect, joined before the second album, and his Moog parts became part of the band's signature.
The 2002 album 'On a Wire' traded the yelling for quieter, more acoustic songs and split their audience. The band broke up in 2005, with Pryor also recording as the New Amsterdams, and reunited a few years later. They have since released 'There Are Rules' and 'Problems'.
