Afternoon Scene: The Get Up Kids

An emo band before being called emo was something that people denied. They released albums from 97-04, were from Kansas City, and have been credited to influencing many modern bands. Sadly, I couldn't find some of my favorite songs, especially "Mass Pike" and "Don't Hate Me."



"Action and Action"


"Anne Arbour" (live)


"I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel"



Update: Niraj added 2 links in the comments, the "don't hate me" I had found, but audio quality is so rough that I didn't bother with it. The "mass pike" video is equally rough, but I hadn't seen it. It's a shame, because that song in particular, and some others are really beautiful, but you can't tell at a poor quality.
