The Get Up Kids will return in January with a new studio album, There Are Rules - the band's fifth full-length, and the first on their own Quality Hill Records imprint. There Are Rules marks a new chapter for The Get Up Kids, as they return to their independent roots, forming their own label - Quality Hill Records - and reigniting the DIY spirit that originally launched the band onto the worldwide stage.
Says Pryor, "We had a really great relationship with Vagrant but we felt that with the proverbial rebirth of the band we wanted to start our own label. Do everything ourselves like we did in the beginning." And as to naming the imprint? "Quality Hill is a historic neighborhood in Kansas City. It's not far from where we first formed the band. It seems like an appropriate name for the label."
