The home for emo, punk, and hardcore music from the 80s through today.

Influential Kansas City five piece, The Get Up Kids, returned in January 2011 with a new studio album, ‘There Are Rules’ – the band’s fifth full-length collection, and the first on their own Quality Hill Records imprint.  Seven years after what looked to be their final album ‘Guilt Show’, The Get Up Kids returned to the studio in 2009, sparked by a spur-of-the-moment decision to start writing songs together.  And so ‘There Are Rules’ came to be - twelve new songs that will prove to be both surprising, and familiar. The songs were all written spontaneously and then fleshed it out with long time producer Ed Rose in the studio, resulting in a collection of tracks that are fresh and inspired, created by a band that has been given new life and isn’t looking back. The first fruits of these new recordings was ‘Simple Science’, released in April 2010 - an EP that burst, unannounced, into the Billboard Top 200, followed by the first teaser for the album  - the 7” single ‘Automatic’, out early January 2011.  For the new recordings, The Get Up Kids started their own label – Quality Hill Records – naming it after a historic neighborhood in Kansas City, not far from where the band first formed.  And so, after touring across four continents to sold out crowds too many times to count, after becoming a crucial part of what has been called the “second wave of emo” in the 90’s along with bands like Braid and The Promise Ring and influencing a list of bands as long as your arm, after 15 years, 4 acclaimed studio albums, a collection of rarities, a live record, numerous 7"s and EPs, the Kansas City five piece – Matthew Pryor on vocals and guitar, Rob Pope on bass, Jim Suptic on guitars and vocals, James Dewees on keyboards and Ryan Pope on drums - unveiled ‘There Are Rules’ in 2011, proving that the final chapter for The Get Up Kids has yet to be written.
