Can we talk about The Get Up Kids

Post by Jordan f. »

does a better band in this genre exist?

Four Minute Mile and Something To Write Home About are flawless albums. Late night walks/drives/bike rides listening to TGUK is one of the most relaxing things in life

I love this type of pop-punk, no fucks given. The Get Up Kids/Coalesce split is one of my favorites, I could listen to Saves the Day on repeat, and Texas is the Reason/The Promise Ring rule.

You don't need any of them. You just need drugs.

I love Saves the Day.
Also, the Get Up Kids rule.

I've never been a huge fan of Texas is the Reason though.
