Worse for the Wear
Worse for the Wear is an album by The New Amsterdams, released in 2003. This is the first New Amsterdams album to have a full band, as the previous albums have always been primarily solo material from the lead singer Matt Pryor as a side project from The Get Up Kids. It was recorded over the course of three months at the Red House Studios in Eudora, Kansas. The album was recorded with Rob and Ryan Pope, as well as longtime friend and producer Ed Rose after the release of the third Get Up Kids album On a Wire, and because the band was promoting that album at the time, The New Amsterdams did not tour extensively to promote the album, although they did make an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. The 3rd episode of One Tree Hill, Season One, was named after 'Are You True?'.
