Before the "emo" tag became a part of popular culture, The Get Up Kids were making the Midwest proud with their unique rock 'n' roll sound. Whether they got crowds jumping along to the pop rock favorite "Ten Minutes" or kept them entranced with the piano driven "I'll Catch You", The Get Up Kids proved themselves as a band comfortable in creating pop hits, unabashed ballads, or anything in between. To this day Something to Write Home About remains one of the best track-by-track albums a fan of the emo scene can own. A 10th anniversary edition of the album was released in 2009, so if you don't know The Get Up Kids yet, it's a good time to fall in love.
