Title: The Get Up Kids - Something To Write Home About
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1999, Alternative, Midwest Emo, Kansas City, Missouri 5/26
Matrix #: PRC-497
Condition: EX-NM (VZ) | Members: Matt P (77' - Alive), Jim S (77' - Alive), Rob P (76' - Alive), Ryan P (79' - Alive), James D (76' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: James D later publicly dealt with addiction and recovery, a reminder that the emo boom’s bright touring years often had harder private costs.
  2. Scene Ecology: The album helped move Midwest emo from basements and VFW halls into a national touring economy without fully losing its DIY roots.
  3. Media Narrative: The band became a reference point for early 2000s emo, even as later mainstream versions of the genre often sounded cleaner and more corporate.
