RELEASE DATE: 9/20/24 After 25 years, The Get Up Kids' classic second album, "Something To Write Home About," is still recognizable as the same electrifying, scrappy album it was upon release, but also transformed by time into one of the most seminal records of the band's scene. The album has been meticulously remastered from the original tapes and will be paired with a slew of bonus material, including rare demo versions of multiple songs from the album as well as never-before-released rarities from the era. Originally released in September of 1999, "Something To Write Home About" has been established as an important, late-millennium rock 'n' roll document; a convergence of power pop, alternative rock, and punk, it provided the parameters for emo's Midwest-centered second wave. 2xLP includes digital download and a 28-page booklet.
