Album Tracks 1. Once and for All 2. Mourning 3. It's All About Love 4. Bleak 5. Take Stock 6. Shadow Dancers 7. Words 8. Detour

Limited 180gm colored vinyl LP pressing. 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. Album Tracks 1. Satellite 2. The Problem Is Me 3. Salina 4. Now or Never 5. Lou Barlow 6. Fairweather Friends 1. Common Ground 2. Waking Up Alone 3. The Advocate 4. Symphony of Silence 5. Brakelines 6. Your Ghost Is Gone

On June 16, 2025, I saw this UK Subs multi-track demo tape for sale on eBay, of all places. I got it and sent a photo of the front cover of the tape box, which informs the back cover of this 12Inch to Pete Davies to see what he might remember. He said it looked legit. I took the tape to Infrasonic Sound, a great studio in Nashville, Tennessee and asked engineer Pete Lyman if he could transfer the tape. Days later, he sent Ian MacKaye and I a rough mix of the session. I was stoked to hear that three of the four tracks were unreleased. I contacted Ian and suggested we take the tracks to Don Zientara's Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia (where we made our first records decades ago) to mix them. On September 30 there we were with Don. Due to the tracks being so well recorded, and the band playing so incredibly, our first mix began to take shape very quickly. Part way into the session, Eddie Janney (Untouchables, Faith, Rites Of Spring, One Last Wish, Happy Go Licky, Skewbald) arrived to sit in and we had another Subs fan in attendance. Together, we finished mixing the last two tracks. We brought the mixes to Pete Lyman for mastering. I wrote Charlie and asked his permission to unleash the tracks and he said go ahead. So, here we are with three unreleased UK Subs tunes and a new mix of InchSame ThingInch. Studio kicks, indeed! These songs are finally where they should be-with you. - Henry Album Tracks 1. 1.
