The Get Up Kids, Smoking Popes [outside]

It’s been 25 years since the Get Up Kids’ sophomore album, Something to Write Home About, changed the emo landscape. The Kansas City fourpiece put out an album that would shape younger generations for years to come. To mark the anniversary, the Get Up Kids are releasing an expanded reissue and performing the album in its entirety on tour. Mosh along to the euphoric pop-punk perfection of “Holiday” and “Ten Minutes,” or let the emotion of piano-driven ballads sweep you into tears. Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of elderly emos there to “Catch You.” – Abby Johnston
