When you’re one of about 15 bands on an independent label that is also the home of your husband’s band, the “just like family” clich‚ takes on a new meaning. Independent labels are known for their tight-knit mentality, but Vagrant Records’ bands The Anniversary and The Get Up Kids have taken it to a new level.

With the marriage of Adrianne (Verhoeven) Pope of The Anniversary to label-mate Rob Pope from The Get Up Kids, this tight knit group has become even closer.

“All the bands on [Vagrant Records] are really cool and we get along with everyone,” says Adrianne Pope, keyboardist and vocalist for The Anniversary. “It’s a great label to be on. Everyone is friends.”

But don’t expect the next generation of indie music coming from these two anytime soon. They are still very serious about their careers as indie-rock stars. Still very much focused on their bands and their music, married life hasn’t changed their routines much.

“I’m used to it now,” says Pope. “I’ve been used to this life for two years now. It’s not any different than it was before.”

This tour will be Pope’s first since her marriage to Rob Pope on Aug. 18.

Although both The Get Up Kids and The Anniversary tour excessively throughout the year, there are no plans for tours together in the near future.

“We’ve already been on a six week tour together and we went to Europe together, but that’s pretty exercised out, really,” Pope says.

With the recent explosion of Vagrant, Pope can’t afford to let her marriage affect the band. When The Anniversary first signed to Vagrant, it was still a small label. It has since grown into a major player in the indie scene, listing over 15 bands on its roster.

“When we signed to Vagrant, it was a two-room office on the second floor of a building, and the view from the window was an alley,” Pope says. “It’s definitely grown into a hip label.”

With a few of the acts on Vagrant receiving quite a bit of attention, this also means more light shed on The Anniversary, and perhaps some added pressure to follow the path laid out before them.

“As the label gets more successful, every band gets a little more attention and gets more success, but that has to be backed up by strong talent,” Pope says.

“If you don’t have that, nobody will accept what you’re doing.”

Along with Vagrant’s success has come legal troubles. Vagrant recently resolved problems it had with its distributor. In light of those difficulties, many release dates were pushed back, including The Anniversary’s release of its second full-length album, “Your Majesty.”

Originally set to hit stores in September, the street date is now set for January.

“It gives [“Your Majesty”] a little extra pressure, but I think it’s in a positive way,” Pope says. “Pushing back the release has made people even more excited and interested in the record.”

Perhaps adding to this pressure is a slightly different side of The Anniversary, which could catch fans of its first full-length album, “Designing a Nervous Breakdown,” off guard.

Pope equates this musical growth to listening to different types of music, including bands such as the Beatles, Pink Floyd and the Beach Boys. Fans of The Anniversary should expect an album with an abundance of pop influence.

“It’s very different,” Pope says.

“If people expect a similar record from the last one, it’s not very similar.

“If you don’t grow musically in the process of being a band, there’s no point in doing it. The [new album] is definitely a serious growth from our last record.”

In the mean time, The Anniversary has a split coming out with Superdrag in November to hold off hungry fans who can’t wait to satiate their need for new Anniversary material. Hopefully these new songs will “pacify people for a while,” Pope says.

“Hold tight, because the record is going to blow your mind,” Pope says.

For now, The Anniversary is heading out on the road, making its first stop of the tour at the Maintenance Shop tonight and debuting new songs for fans of the Vagrant family.
