Problems (album)
''Problems'' is the sixth studio album by American rock band The Get Up Kids, their first full-length with Polyvinyl Records. It is their final release to feature keyboardist James Dewees before his departure in 2019. Writing and production After the band's self-released reunion album '' There Are Rules'' largely failed to find an audience, the members of the Get Up Kids took another short hiatus working non-music industry jobs, interrupted only by brief weekend tours and one-off shows. While drinking at a bar before their performance at the 2017 When We Were Young festival, the band began to talk about recommitting to the Get Up Kids as a full-time pursuit. ''Problems'' was recorded at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, Connecticut over 19 days in September 2018, reuniting with Peter Katis—who mixed the band's divisive 2002 album '' On a Wire''—who produced alongside the band. It marked the first time the band had worked with Katis since he found mainstream success producing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
