The Get Up Kids are an American indie rock band. Forming in Kansas City, Missouri in 1995, the band opened for bands such as Green Day and Weezer before becoming headliners themselves, including tours in Japan and Europe. They released most of their albums on Heroes & Villains, their own imprint under Vagrant Records that also put out records from bands like The Anniversary, The New Amsterdams and Reggie and the Full Effect. Like many early emo bands, The Get Up Kids came to dissociate themselves with that label, as it came to be seen as insult to be known as an "emo band." The Get Up Kids were viewed throughout their existence as a prototypical "emo" band, having been major players in what is commonly considered the "second wave" of emo music.

The Early Years (1995-1997)

While in high school, Ryan Pope, Rob Pope, and Jim Suptic formed a short-lived band known as Kingpin. Matt Pryor had been writing songs since he was a teenager, and was playing in a band called Secret Decoder Ring. Following the demise of the two bands in 1995, The Get Up Kids were formed. The band originally planned on calling themselves "The Suburban Get Up Kids", until reasoning that there were fewer band names beginning with the letter 'G' than there are with the letter 'S', and that therefore they were more likely to be noticed in a record store if their name began with a 'G'. At the time the lineup consisted of Pryor, Suptic, Rob Pope, and Nathan Shay. Pryor and Suptic met playing shows in different bands in the Kansas City area. In 1995, Pryor, Suptic, and friend Kevin Zelko saved to put out "Shorty/The Breathing Method", their very first 7" on Huey Proudhon Records. However, due to an unwillingness to tour, Shay was replaced by Robert's younger brother Ryan in April of 1996. The band began to become more and more integral in the growing midwest music scene, forming strong relationships with bands such as Rocket Fuel is the Key, Coalesce and Braid. After "Shorty", the band also released "A Newfound Interest in Massachusetts", as well as a Split 7" with Coalesce produced by Ed Rose entitled Burned Bridges/I'm Giving Up on This One. For the split, each band covered the one of the other's songs in their own style. Coalesce did a post-hardcore cover of "Second Place", and The Get Up Kids created a power-pop rendition of the Coalesce song "Harvest of Maturity". Soon afterward, the band was signed to Doghouse Records, where they put out their first EP, Woodson.
