But by sustaining the essence of their sound &#8211; anthemic choruses with sing-along-ready melodies -The Get Up Kids highlight those troubles as a shared experience, giving way to unbreakable solidarity. And at the heart of\u00a0<em>Problems<\/em>\u00a0is an invaluable element the band\u2019s embodied since their 1997 debut\u00a0<em>Four Minute Mile<\/em>: a penetrating lyricism that\u2019s both acutely introspective and indelibly resonant.<\/p>\n<p>The follow-up to 2018\u2019s acclaimed EP,\u00a0<em>Kicker<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Problems\u00a0<\/em>came to life in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with the band &#8211; Matt Pryor, Jim Suptic (guitars\/vocals), Rob Pope (bass), Ryan Pope (drums), and James Dewees (keys) &#8211; holing up together for a three-week span. Working with Katis, The Get Up Kids took a characteristically riff-driven yet decidedly pop-minded approach to song structure, while also allowing themselves a new sense of creative freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Through the years, The Get Up Kids have purposely pushed themselves toward previously unexplored songwriting material. \u201cI\u2019m 41 now, I could never write a song like when I was 19 &#8211; all those \u2018I miss my girlfriend\u2019 kind of songs\u201d Suptic says. \u201cIt\u2019s always important to us to write about wherever we are right now.\u201d As shown on\u00a0<em>Problems<\/em>, the resulting output both preserves the beloved spirit of The Get Up Kids and creates an entirely new context for their music. \u201cA big part of the reason why we started writing new songs in the first place is that we have things we want to say about this moment in time,\u201d says Pryor. \u201cWe\u2019re still so connected to our past and where this all came from &#8211; it\u2019s definitely a celebration of the fact that we still get to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Get Up Kids also play Slam Dunk North on 25th May and Slam Dunk South on 26th May<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-xdkljdy-jtzijduii-c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Website<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-xdkljdy-jtzijduii-q\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-xdkljdy-jtzijduii-a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-xdkljdy-jtzijduii-f\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Get Up Kids today announced their first full-length album in eight years, &#8216;Problems&#8217;\u00a0&#8211; produced by Grammy Award-winner Peter Katis (Kurt Vile, The National) &#8211; will be released May 10th on Big Scary Monsters.
