Four Minute Mile

Description

1997s Four Minute Mile is the full-length debut from Kansas City, MOs The Get Up Kids, a hooky DIY affair which catapulted the band to indie stardom and made them a major player in the second wave of emo music. Produced by Bob Weston of Shellac, Four Minute Mile is chock full of confessional lyrics about alienation and loss, strapping pop/rock arrangements and unbridled energy which resonated with late-90s music fans in a big way and led to major label offers galore. Album standouts like Coming Clean, Fall Semester and Stay Gold, Ponyboy remain some of the finest compositions in the bands distinguished catalogue!
