The Get Up Kids are an indie rock band. Forming in in 1995, the band opened for bands such as and before becoming headliners themselves, including tours in and . They released most of their albums on Heroes & Villains, their own imprint under that also put out records from bands like , and . Like many early bands, The Get Up Kids came to dissociate themselves with that label, as it came to be seen as insult to be known as an "emo band." The Get Up Kids were viewed throughout their existence as a prototypical "emo" band, having been major players in what is commonly considered the "second wave" of emo music.

Something to Write Home About (1999-2001)

In early 1999 the band released , a five-track EP that marked the first appearance of future keyboardist on a Get Up Kids album, as well as the band's final release on . After the release of Red Letter Day, Dewees joined the band full-time, and the band began recording their second studio album in in June 1999 with producer Alex Brahl. Before the album went into production, co-owner had to borrow money from his parents, who mortgaged their house in order to fund the production of the album. On September 21, 1999 the band released on under their own imprint, Heroes & Villains. Something to Write Home About has been singled out as the band's only 'true' emo album. Furthermore, the album single-handedly turned the struggling Vagrant label into one of the top in the country. Not only did the album make TGUK the standard-bearers for emo, but it also launched the genre into a public consciousness broader than the local scenes that had previously embraced it. Furthermore, the album made Vagrant Records a household name amongst indie connoisseurs. At the same time, the addition of Dewees alienated some fans, as the implementation of keyboards moved the band away from the ethic of many in the punk scene.

As a result of their newly increased profile, The Get Up Kids toured relentlessly to promote the record. As well as touring Europe, Japan, and Australia, they toured with such acts as , , , , , , , and many others. Their 2000 tour with was sponsored by .

To capitalize on anticipation for their next album, The Get Up Kids released a rarities compilation in 2001. Eudora consisted of alternate takes, covers and B-sides released since the band's formation.

Four Minute Mile (1997–1998)

After signing to Doghouse, the band drove to Chicago to record their debut full-length album with producer of . The album was recorded in only two days, with the band leaving on Friday after Ryan Pope got out of school and finishing in the early hours of Sunday morning. Two months after recording the album, the band embarked on their first national tour with and with the first date of the tour taking place the day after Ryan's high school graduation.

It was on that tour that the band met , the new drummer for while the bands were playing together in , . After the show, the members of the two bands became close friends, eventually leading them to record a produced by entitled "". For the split, each band covered one of the other's songs in their own style. Coalesce did a post-hardcore cover of "Second Place", and The Get Up Kids recorded a power-pop rendition of "Harvest of Maturity".

A few months later, the band released their debut full-length record , bringing a great deal of attention from critics, fans and labels alike. The band was invited to join Braid on their 1998 tour of Europe and the band rapidly created an overseas fanbase.

While the band was receiving rapidly increasing national and international attention, they became unhappy with Doghouse Records' ability to keep up with the increasing popularity of the band. The Get Up Kids announcement to leave Doghouse Records brought interest from prominent record labels including , and . The band made a decision to sign to Mojo, but before the contracts were signed, they began to have second thoughts. The main issue was over the label's insistence on owning merchandising rights, a large source of the band's income. Moreover, the band was insulted the label requested they re-record "Don't Hate Me" from Four Minute Mile for their next record, feeling that the label believed it was "the best that [they could] write". Before the deal with Mojo was official, the band met Rich Egan, founder of Los Angeles-based . He convinced the band to sign to Vagrant instead, offering them $50,000 to record a second album, as well as their own imprint, Heroes & Villains Records.
