All 7 tracks would be re-released internationally on the 2007 full length album The Power of Rock and Roll.
The track "Heavy Metal Love", originally from No Rest for the Wicked, was re-recorded here due to a dispute with EMI. The song was to be featured on the soundtrack for the Trailer Park Boys movie "The Big Dirty", however the track was pulled by Dean Cameron, president of EMI Canada. The reason given was that distribution of the soundtrack was being handled by Universal, and not EMI who owns the track. The band instead chose to re-record it and include it on Get Up!
Get Up! itself was hyped by Vollmer as "...very reminiscent of the No Rest For The Wicked album," after the alternative rock stylings of their previous studio album, Rockin' in My Outer Space, from 2004.
Get Up! was the first single taken from Beverley Knight's third studio album, Who I Am. The track, which was showcased with a performance at the 2001 MOBO Awards, became Knight's third top 20 hit in Britain when it peaked at #17 upon its release.
