About

Kansas City native Matt Pryor, frontman of The Get Up Kids, helped define the second and third waves of emo before expanding into a rich, indie-driven sound.

His latest solo album, The Salton Sea, (due for release 14/11/25), reflects a deeply personal period of transformation, blending narrative storytelling with timeless melodies.

In 2026, he returns to Manchester for his first solo tour there in twelve years, reconnecting with longtime fans and introducing his music to a new generation.
