Our Take
Our Take
ACADEMIC's latest offering, "Acting My Age," is a deliciously cheeky slice of indie pop that will have you bopping along in no time. The Irish quartet have managed to perfectly capture the essence of youthful rebellion, with their catchy hooks and infectious energy.
From the moment the opening track kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. "Why Can't We Be Friends" is a riotous blend of surf rock guitars and pulsating drums, setting the tone for the rest of the album. Lead singer Craig Fitzgerald's distinctive vocals soar above the mix, delivering punchy lyrics with just the right amount of attitude.
Tracks like "Radar" and "Permanent Vacation" showcase ACADEMIC's knack for crafting slick, radio-friendly anthems that are impossible to resist. The band effortlessly blends shimmering synths with propulsive beats, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.
But "Acting My Age" isn't all sun-soaked melodies and bubblegum choruses. The haunting ballad "Chasers" sees ACADEMIC strip back the layers, showcasing their emotional depth and maturity. It's a poignant moment that highlights the band's ability to balance light and shade with finesse.
Overall, "Acting My Age" is a triumphant return for ACADEMIC, proving that they are not just another flash in the pan indie band. With their infectious energy and undeniable charm, this album is sure to cement their status as one of the UK's most exciting musical exports. So go ahead, embrace your inner rebel and give it a spin - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist
The Academic
Hailing from the whimsical streets of West London, ACADEMIC is a musical enigma wrapped in a quirky bow tie. With a voice that dances between soulful croons and playful falsettos, ACADEMIC's sound is as distinct as his polka dot socks.

But ACADEMIC is more than just a talented musician; he's also a style icon in his own right. With a penchant for vintage suits and oversized sunglasses, ACADEMIC's fashion sense is as bold and fearless as his music.

With a string of sold-out shows and a dedicated fanbase, ACADEMIC is poised to take the music world by storm. So, grab your glitter and get ready to dance - because ACADEMIC is here to shake up the music scene like never before.
