The Terrible Twos

In 2005 after the Get Up Kids split up, lead singer Matt Pryor turned his focus on his other band the New Amsterdams and, primarily, his children.

The main reason the Get Up Kids split up was due to Pryor's disenchantment with touring, and his desire to spend more time with his children.

Pryor's goal was to create music that would engage children, but entertain their parents as well.

Alongside this, they wanted artist and friend Travis Miller to illustrate a storybook to be packaged with the album.
