Today, The Get Up Kids share another duo of remastered and demo versions of fan-favorite “Ten Minutes” from the upcoming 25th anniversary reissue of their sophomore LP, Something to Write Home About - out digitally August 23 // out physically September 20. 

Alongside the new tracks, longtime friend and scene peer Josh Berwanger (The Anniversary) has lovingly assembled rare archival live footage of DIY shows, posters, photos, and other ephemera from the era into the track's new music video. Jim Suptic (The Get Up Kids) explains:

“When I wrote the opening guitar riff for ‘Ten Minutes,’ my inspiration was the song ‘Do the Vampire’ by Superdrag. It’s pretty obvious once you know. Their album, Head Trip in Every Key, was on heavy rotation when we were writing Something to Write Home About. When I listen back to this song and watch the new video for it, my first impression is just how young we were. Some of us were literally teenagers. My voice almost sounds like a totally different person than who I am today. With that said, maybe that is why the album connected with so many people. We were singing about the things everyone struggles with at that age. At its core, Something to Write Home About is a coming of age record.

I think Josh Berwanger did a fantastic job editing the video. He and his band The Anniversary were there for a lot of this, and witnessed some of these moments first hand.” - Jim Suptic (The Get Up Kids)
