We've waited seven long years - happy release day to The Get Up Kids' new EP, Kicker!

"The most satisfying Get Up Kids release in nearly 20 years.” - Pitchfork

"It's a proper statement of reemergence from one of the most enduring bands to emerge of the early-aughts rock club scene." - SPIN

"Kicker is comprised of four songs only, but they pack a wallop." - Uproxx

"At just four songs, Kicker only feels like a taste of where TGUK are at right now and it leaves you wanting more. And if they do in fact have a full-length in the works, Kicker makes that full-length look very promising." - Brooklyn Vegan

"The four-song project is setting new, grown-up concerns about marriage and family life to the kind of upbeat and melodically assured guitar music that they’ve always been known for." - The FADER

"Songs like “Maybe” and “I’m Sorry” express regret over bad choices and paths not pursued, but there’s no sense of resignation in the lyrics or guitar licks. The Moog accents are now fist pumps, and the chanting choruses edge close to stadium rock." - AV Club

"The EP hearkens back to the youthful energy of the band's early releases." - Consequence of Sound

All good things in time. Today The Get Up Kids shared their first release in SEVEN years and we are just kicking (har har) ourselves that we get to be a part of it! Kicker has arrived in all its 4-song glory. Listen below and order your copy from our E-Store.
