Simple Science

The Get Up Kids

A four-track reunion EP trading teenage angst for analog synths and a weathered, mid-tempo indie rock maturity. Warm, punchy, and unmistakably Midwestern.

It's the Get Up Kids all grown up, trading the distortion pedals for some really cool old synths.

A reflective and textured collection that balances nostalgic warmth with a mature, steady energy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the synth line in Your Petty Pretty Things cuts through the guitar fuzz like a neon light.
The slow, deliberate build of How You’re Bound that stretches into a six-minute meditation.
The punchy, classic power-pop energy of Tommy Gentle that recalls their early urgency with a new precision.
