“An inherently youthful band gracefully making good” – MOJO
“These punk stalwarts might finally reach a wider audience.” – Q
“By breaking the rules of what they were supposed to sound like, they’ve given themselves a second bite of the cherry. More power to them.” – Drowned In Sound
“Pop nous plus lo-fi integrity produces edgy melodicism.” – Classic Rock
The Get Up Kids will be taking new album ‘There Are Rules’ on the road in Europe throughout September and October with dates across the continent which will include shows at Leeds Cockpit and London’s legendary Koko. Singer / guitarist Matt Pryor says of the forthcoming live shows – “We’re really excited to finally be doing a proper European headlining tour! These shows are going to be a good party.” The band are no strangers to UK shores, and most recently they played Reading and Leeds festivals last year, as well as having their own low-key (but fully sold out) shows at the Underworld which involved some hearty singalongs from spellbound fans.
‘There Are Rules’ has marked a new chapter for The Get Up Kids, as they have returned to their independent roots, forming their own label – Quality Hill Records – and reigniting the DIY spirit that originally launched the band onto the worldwide stage.
