The Academy Is…: Skeptics and True Believers

Our Sunday Night Music Club post comes from The Academy Is…’s debut album Almost Here released by Fueled By Ramen in 2005. The band would go on to release two more full lengths: Santi (2007) and Fast Times At Barrington High (2008).

Would you believe me if I said I didn’t need you?
‘cause I wouldn’t believe you if you said the same to me.
And near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn’t need you?

Gym Class Heroes: 7 Weeks ft. William Beckett

This week’s Sunday Night Music Club features a song from Gym Class Heroes’ 2006 album As Cruel As School Children. This song features guest vocals by William Beckett of The Academy Is… and was produced by Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.

This is how it has to be
A kiss for luck, submerge myself
And in 7 weeks resurface
Even if we don’t look back again
Tired boys and wired eyes
Exposing imperfections
To the public eye we’re perfect
Even if we don’t look back again

Happy Birthday, Disashi!

from The Academy Is…

After nine years and three albums, The Academy Is… have decided to go our separate ways. We began in 2003 as three young friends in the suburbs of Chicago, with dreams of creating music that meant something to us. Dreams of leaving those suburbs behind and seeing all of the beautiful things that this world has to offer. Dreams of making a difference in the lives of others.

It is now 2011 and we look back at the records we’ve made, the shows we’ve played, the places we’ve been.
The people we’ve met.

The Academy Is… has made its mark.
We celebrate the experiences of our past, as we welcome what lies ahead.
While we have never managed to make things easy on ourselves, it is safe to say that we have always found common ground in our love of music.
And though we may not be together, you can look forward to hearing new music from each of us.

The music we have made together is our gift to you. From this point on, The Academy Is… belongs to you. Feel free to listen. Listen as loud as you’d like.

Yours,
The Academy Is…

TAI, you will be missed.
