The Get Up Kids Announce 25th Anniversary Reissue of Something to Write Home About

The Get Up Kids have announced a 25th anniversary deluxe reissue of their 1999 sophomore album. Something to Write Home About (25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) comes out digitally on August 23 and physically on September 20 via Polyvinyl. The Kansas City emo stalwarts have also shared a new music video for “Holiday” and dug up a demo version of that same track, both of which you can check out below.

“The biggest takeaway from watching this video is how young we were. It’s like watching your parents’ home movies of you riding a big wheel in the backyard,” said singer Matt Pryor. “A lot of these are from a time when the record was finished but people hadn’t really heard it yet. We’d just spent a long, frustrating year trying to get it made and when it finally saw the light of day we just came out swinging. I remember a lot of these shows, The Fireside Bowl in Chicago particularly. That always felt like a home away from home for us back then. The kids onstage in these videos really have no idea how much this album will change their lives, that we’ll still be talking about it 25 years later.”
