The Academy Is… is a pop-punk band from Illinois. Their city of Chicago is also famous for the bands Alkaline Trio and Fall Out Boy. The members in The Academy Is… are William Beckett, Michael Guy Chislett, Mike Carden, Adam T. Siska, and Andy Mrotek.
The sound of William’s voice is clear and pure and, unlike most alternative boy bands, their sound is softcore. The songs are catchy and you’ll find yourself singing Slow Down or About A Girl often.
What’s Alternative Hub’s favorite The Academy Is… song? They’re all fantastic, but One More Weekend from their latest album, Fast Times At Barrington High, stands out by far.
If you like the sound of The Academy Is…, you might also like the bands All Time Low, The Cab, and some Fall Out Boy or Panic! at the Disco songs.
