High energy pop-punk group The Academy Is…, on tour in support of their latest album Fast Times at Barrington High, is making its way to San Francisco’s Café Du Nord tonight. The new CD, which landed at #46 on Rolling Stone’s Album of the Year List and made the cover story for an issue of Alternative Press, is being praised as the most innovative and mature offering the group has put together yet, perhaps in contradiction to the album’s title, which references the suburban Chicago alma mater of frontman William Beckett and bassist Adam T. Siska.
Less jokey and more musical than a Blink-182, not as bare-bones punk testosterone as a Pendulum, The Academy Is plays to a kind of eternal freshness, at once youthful and timeless.
Listen to About a Girl for a better idea.
