Get Up Kids: Matthew Pryor, Robert Pope, Ryan Pope, James Dewees, Jim Suptic. Additional personnel: Jason Russell (background vocals). Principally recorded at Black Lodge Studios, Eudora, Kansas and The Free State Brewery, Lawrence, Kansas. After gaining the attention of the ever-growing emo-rock crowd in the late-1990s with their first two fiery indie-rock albums, Kansas City quintet the Get Up Kids abruptly turned on their heels with ON A WIRE, a record packed with bouncy, multi-layered, and provocative tunes. Taking yet another step along the line from emo icons to pop artisans, the group next unveiled the wonderfully crafted GUILT SHOW, an intelligent, full-bodied, and hook-laden record. GUILT SHOW's opening track, "Man of Conviction," embodies their transformation, starting with the time-honored indie-punk sound and fury, but throwing in a dizzy piano and some odd jazz deconstructions before collapsing into the ultra-tuneful "The One You Want." On "Holy Roman," the Kids wax political using just the right pop know-how combined with an oblique edge. A jaunty piano riff opens "In Your Sea," descending into an appealing 1970s-ish bounce, and then into a subtle orchestral finale. An unpredictable yet immensely appealing pop ride, GUILT SHOW reveals the Get Up Kids to be a constantly maturing and always-intriguing rock outfit.
