Saturday Preview – The Get Up Kids

This is a repost from 2019’s Riot Fest. I missed them then but any band getting this much love by Riot Mike deserves out attention.

An emo (they don’t like that term) or pop punk band from Kansas City, The Get Up Kids formed in the wake of Dookie and Smash blowing up in the mid-nineties.  I’m seeing a pretty common theme about how many of these bands started in 1994/5/6.  Another potential conflict band amidst the heavyweights on Friday.  Give them a spin and see if they’re worthy.
