New Amsterdams

I finally found and listened to The New Amsterdams' 2003 release, "Worse for the Wear". The New Amsterdams are a side project featuring Matt Pryor of The Get Up Kids as lead singer/songwriter. Fans of bands such as the Get Up Kids (obviously) and Straylight Run will definitely like The New Amsterdams. After just a couple listens tracks for me are "From California" and "All Our Vice". Lyrics can be found here and here respectively.

Have you heard of Reggie & The Full Effect? It's a side project from yet another member of The Get Up Kids. Reggie isn't as serious as The Get Up Kids or New Amsterdams, but hell, who says music has to be serious all the time?

Yep, I've definitely heard of Reggie and yeah James Dewees (keyboard player) from The Get Up Kids started that band. Their newest album Under the Tray is a fun album to listen to.
