Title: The Get Up Kids – Something to Write Home About
Year/Genre: 1999, Emo
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Kansas City band The Get Up Kids recorded this album after years of van touring, becoming a key bridge between Midwestern DIY punk circuits and a wider emo audience.

  2. Released on Vagrant Records, it helped turn the label from a small indie into a major player in late-’90s/early-2000s guitar rock.

  3. Constant touring, including support slots with Green Day and face-to-face merch hustling, turned the record into a rite-of-passage purchase for turn-of-the-millennium emo kids.
