Jim Suptic went on to form Blackpool Lights with former members of Butterglory and the Creature Comforts. The band released their debut album This Town’s Disaster in 2006, consisted largely of songs Suptic wrote for the Get Up Kids but never recorded. The album was released on Curb Appeal Records , an independent label Suptic founded with former Get Up Kids collaborator and local musician Alex Brahl. The label released albums by Smoking Popes and the New Amsterdams, but dissolved sometime in 2008. The exact reasons why were never revealed, but Suptic said only that it “blew up in [his] face.” After the closure of the label, Suptic began working at Home Depot to support his family.
