New Amsterdams Killed Or Cured Rarest

Contents.Writing The album was originally recorded after, the band's third album. It was written primarily in 2004 after the release of The Get Up Kids album while that band was on its world tour. Several songs, chiefly 'Wears so Thin' and 'Watch the World Cave In' were written about the tensions in the band at the time that led to the group's eventual breakup. In fact, the song 'Drinking in the Afternoon' was written in a hotel room during the Japan leg of the tour the night before Pryor quit the band after the tour was over.

The events surrounding the album's writing led to a much darker and foreboding tone than on previous releases.Production After The Get Up Kids went on hiatus after their 2004 world tour, Pryor turned his focus to The New Amsterdams, who started recording the first version of Killed or Cured. They initially recorded a more stripped-down acoustic version of the album, with many songs featuring only Pryor on vocals and guitar. In 2005, The Get Up Kids formally announced their breakup, and that they would be doing one final tour before splitting up permanently on June 2. Because of this, the label to which both The Get Up Kids and The New Amsterdams were signed, wanted to hold off on the release of Killed or Cured, as it would reflect poorly on The Get Up Kids due to the mood of when it was written.Soon afterward, the band released the album online for free download, including cover art, from the band's website.

They also returned to the studio to re-record the album for its retail release. The new version of the album is substantially different from the original, with each song featuring the full band and, in some cases, strings and brass. This new version was produced by, a longtime friend who had also produced several albums by The Get Up Kids, as well as other side-projects like and.In 2006, The New Amsterdams announced that they would release the album on two discs. The first disc, called 'Killed' would feature the original, stripped down version of the album, and the second disc ('Cured') would feature the new re-worked versions of the songs. The album was eventually released on April 24, 2007.Track listing All tracks are written. Disc 1 (Killed)No.TitleLength1.'

The New Amsterdams Killed Or CuredOriginally self-released digitally in 2006 free of charge and to little fanfare, Killed Or Cured was overshadowed by the New Amsterdams' proper new album at the time, Story Like A Scar. Hopefully Killed Or Cured’s physical release receives better notice because it’s one of the band’s best and most compact efforts yet. In 27 minutes, frontman Matt Pryor’s breathy vocals tug more firmly on heartstrings than anything he’s sang on since Get Up Kids’ 2002 fan-alienator On A Wire, parlaying non-stop acoustic guitars and piano accompaniment over folksy arrangements. “It’s hard to say goodbye, but at least we got to have this time,” he acknowledges in the aching “Drinking In The Afternoon,” while showing emotional restraint in the gripping “Full Thunder Moon” and the delicately optimistic “Heaven Sent.” The sadcore moniker reigns supreme. Bonus: A second disc features alternate takes on all the tracks. This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website.
