"Problems is the first full-length album the Get Up Kids have put out in eight years, and to the surprise of no one, they've still got it. It sounds just as great...reminding us why this band are still one of the greatest emo/alternative acts..." - Exclaim!: Album Review (9/10)

"Problems is a validation and revamp of Get Up Kids 2.0, honoring the indie-leaning sound of 2004’s Guilt Show and There Are Rules with a stronger sense of confidence and melody." - Stereogum: Interview

On their new album ​Problems—​ their first full-length in eight years—​The Get Up Kids​ examine everything from life-changing loss to loneliness to the inevitable anxiety of existing in 2019. But by sustaining the essence of their sound—anthemic choruses with sing-along-ready melodies—the band highlights those troubles as a shared experience, giving way to an unbreakable solidarity. And at the heart of ​Problems​ is an invaluable element the band’s embodied since their 1997 debut ​Four Minute Mile​: a penetrating lyricism that’s both acutely introspective and indelibly resonant.

Produced by Peter Katis (Kurt Vile, Interpol, Gang of Youths, The National)
