Album Notes
Get Up Kids: Matthew Pryor, Jim Suptic (vocals, guitar); James Dewees (keyboards, background vocals); Rob Pope (bass); Ryan Pope (drums).
Recorded at Tarquin Stuidios, Bridgeport, Connecticut between January and February 2002.
For over half a decade, KC's Get Up Kids garnered a fan base, with music redolent of harder-edged melodic bands such as Superchunk and Jawbox. However, 2002's ON A WIRE, the outfit's first release in three years, finds the fivesome with a sound positively Beatle-esque, or at the very least Badfinger-esque, considering the latter's penchant for sublimely maudlin pop.
Since their inception, the Get Up Kids have possessed the knack for penning fine-etched, intelligent, mesmeric songs, however with ON A WIRE, the band hits its most appealing pop stride. The presence of alt-pop producer extraordinaire Scott Litt, best known for his work with R.E.M., certainly doesn't hurt, as an inviting soundscape propels one lush track into the next. This studied guidance enables the band to sound its best when letting it all hang out on "All That I Know," a hyper-melodic epiphany with a cornball-but-sweet chorus ("all the ships in the ocean..."), a perfect lead-in to the more pensive, but still overwhelmingly melodious "Walking On A Wire." In fact, a likeable symmetry prevails throughout ON A WIRE, a refreshing breakthrough album from a talented band.

Magnet (08/01/2002)

7 out of 10 - ...The mature record...it eschews the intimate confessionals of old for a less frantic sound more akin to old indie lags The Replacements....A brave, potentially suicidal gesture: all hail the grown-up kids.
