(2006)"Killed or Cured" is an album by
The New Amsterdams recorded during the break up ofThe Get Up Kids and released via the internet in part in2005 and in full in2006 . The first release contained only five songs, "Wears So Thin", "Watch The World Cave In", "Heaven Sent", "Drinking In The Afternoon", and "Strangled By The Thought." The album was available for download for free, including cover art, from the band's website.Killed or Cured is a much darker album than the band's usual fare, due largely to lead singerMatthew Pryor 's experiences during the break up of The Get Up Kids. For this reason,Vagrant Records thought it shouldn't be released until after the final Get Up Kids show. The album wound up being shelved permanently.Matthew Pryor wrote "Drinking In The Afternoon" in a hotel in Japan while on theGuilt Show tour. The next day he quit The Get Up Kids. The band announced a new release of Killed or Cured, containing the original album and a reworked album on separate discs. According to the band's Myspace page this was released on April 10th 2007.Track listing
