I first heard of The Get Up Kids back when I was working for a music television show. They sounded like they were some kind of inspirational band in the vein of Indomitable Spirit. But of course once you hear those power punk chords all that junk just falls right out of your head. Its been 8 years since the Kids first hit the scene and a lot of their contemporaries have lost their street cred. Bands like Weezer and Green Day just dont seem as cool now as they did back in the last millennium.
The one memory i have of the GUKids was they had a lot of heart i think to play with Spazz and Monster X at CB's YEARS ago...all my friends and i were like "What the fuck IS this shit"...and they gave a homeless guy who was panhandling outside a t-shirt which i thought was cool.
