The Get Up Kids Working On New Releases

Posted in Bands on September 15, 2009

The Get Up Kids frontman Matt Pryor revealed that the recently reunited 90's emo giants have not only been writing new material, but have already tracked nine new songs.  Here is an excerpt from an interview with Pryor:

Um, there's new material. We've written and recorded 9 songs, and they are being mixed right now. We're not really approaching it in the traditional "we're gonna put out a new record and do the touring cycle" way. We're gonna [do] more fun stuff, like good vinyl and limited edition releases. Cool shit, not just "here's the new CD." Everyone has so much going on it really works better for us that way."
