Rally Round The Fool is the new single release from Missouri rockers The Get Up Kids. The track features on their 2011 album There Are Rules. Long gone are 1990s and with it the treble filled, light emo, powerpop punk of 'Something To Write Home About'. The Get Up Kids have become Get Up Men and this release is explicit evidence of their maturity. "Rally Round The Fool" is not a punk song and it's certainly not emo...

Let's get it out of the way. For a few people, emo isn't a dirty word. Not the goth-lite emo of Daily Mail readers' nightmares, but the 'original' emo, the one that instead used to bother the less mainstream readers of Maximum Rock and Roll. At the end of the Nineties they hated emo. And why not? Someone cut the riffs and feel out of the heart of post-hardcore and went all soft on them. Hearts and flowers, salutes, backpacks, tight t-shirts, and fresh faced innocence. Ugh...

Recently there's been a trend for iconic groups pulling off Lazarus acts. The Pixies, Pavement, Blur and The Libertines all reformed, going on to play sell out shows, despite, or perhaps because of, the fact they'd all been officially declared dead, deceased, no more, pushing up daises...(I would continue but am contractually obliged not to...

Summary: Proof that no matter how old you are, deep down we're all kids at heart. At this point in time, "kids" is a bit of a misnomer when it comes to The Get Up Kids. For the last fifteen years we've been growing up along side them, and while the term maturation gets thrown around much too often when it comes to bands coming into their own, that is exactly what they have done. Unfortunately for the Kids, this has come at a price...

Sometimes you can't write home again. A few months ago I found myself re-listening to Something to Write Home About in the car and was transported instantly to an alternate youthful plane of zealous idealism, overthought storybook romance and the pregnant possibilities of guys who can't quite sing playing guitar like their life depended on it. Years and several waves of alt rock fashion later, the Get Up Kids' opus holds up well and still mostly lives up to its title...

When The Get Up Kids reunited in 2008, they immediately recorded a wealth of material that was to be released over the span of multiple EPs. Two years and one EP later, the Kids decided to scrap that plan, take the remaining songs, and begin work on an actual full-length, their first since 2004's Guilt Show...

On their fifth album, the Get Up Kids sound like a band who resent what made them popular in the first place. Fine, being credited with pioneering emo isn't going to get you tons of respect. But their late 90s albums - Four Minute Mile, Something To Write Home About - feature great pop songwriting, especially considering the Kids' young age, and an unbridled enthusiasm that contrasted with the dark days of Limp Bizkit and Korn domination. It was fun, anthemic rock, certainly nothing to run from...

Originally planned as a series of EP releases, the Kansas City group have abandoned that concept and delivered their first full-length in 6 years. For long time admirers of the band who are (secretly) hoping for another classic emo/indie rock like 'Something To Write Home About' may well be disappointed as 'There Are Rules' sounds like a band who have certainly evolved and to an extent have abandoned their former selves...

Sound: Look at technology flower. Society went from idolizing DOS and wrapping itself up in the wonder of SimCity and now it's become so advanced, gloating with pride and confidence, that it has even sent MySpace to the wolves. Since it's hard not to embrace technology (see Britney Spears' latest comeback single), it's no surprise The Get Up Kids reemergence disc kisses synth lines and off-beat riffs...
