The Get Up Kids at Irving Plaza

The driving, hooky, indie-punk album has been largely celebrated as their biggest release. The “Four Minute Mile” album came out in 1997 to critical acclaim and became an instant superhit among fans. It also played an influential part in creating the blueprint of emo-pop that emerged in the early 200s. It features some classic tracks such as “Coming Clean”, “Don’t Hate Me”, and “Shorty” which are still loved by fans worldwide. Even though their sophomore album, Something to Write Home About, became the reason behind their widespread commercial success, Four Minute Mile deserves a celebration of its own for sowing those seeds early.
The American rock band was formed in 1995 and was one of the influential music outfits in the 1990s Midwest emo scene. Their second album was undoubtedly a prominent element in the “second wave” of emo music, which gave birth to a new era. The Get Up Kids are regarded as the forefathers of emo music and have been recognized for their incredible contributions to the American music industry. As they gear up to celebrate their 1997 album, fans are excited and tickets are expected to sell in advance. If you want to catch them live, make sure you buy your tickets right now before they are sold out!
