On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Matt Pryor of The Get Up Kids. The Get Up Kids and the New Amsterdams vocalist recently shared a memoir called Red Letter Days, which features backstage stories culled from journal entries between 1990-2000 and rare photographs from the era. Across more than 200 pages, the story follows Pryor coming of age, pursuing dreams of becoming a bonafide musician, and his early days on the road with the Get Up Kids during emo’s second wave. Plus, the Get Up Kids will play Four Chord Music Festival and Best Friends Forever later this year. Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.  ------- Host: Joel Madden, @joelmadden Executive Producers: Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Jillian King Producers: Josh Madden, Joey Simmrin, Janice Leary Visual Producer/Editor: Ryan Schaefer Audio Producer/Composer: Nick Gray Music/Theme Composer: Nick Gray Cover Art/Design: Ryan Schaefer Additional Contributors: Anna Zanes, Neville Hardman Learn more about your ad choices.
