The Academy Is... Band • Page 10

Santi is a masterpiece and Almost Here is a classic.

I miss this band.

 

so is no one going to talk about what happened today?

 

What happened today?

 

yesterday*

 

So ... what was it? Or are we going to have to play 20 questions?

 

they updated their facebook. i'm just surprised no one noticed.

 

I don't have Facebook anymore would be why haha

 

Updated .... with ... what?

 

new cover photo of what looks like a very old photo.

 

You can scroll their page and very easily see they've posted stuff intermittently for a long time, a profile pic change is far from notable

 

I'd like Fast Times on vinyl.

 

I’m not even a big fan of Fast Times but I agree - a repress would be nice.

 

I saw the photo update and I just went "ok"

It's pretty unlikely this band will ever do anything again. William hasn't even release solo music in like 10 years right?

 

Very unlikely they do anything substantial other than maybe a show or two eventually

 

this is one of those bands from my youth whom i honestly don't really have a desire to see new material from them. what i got back then was perfect for its time.
i would like a vinyl repress tho, i didn't get that Santi press a while ago; i recall it was done through some shady label? i don't even remember the name

 

The band is playing Riot Fest and made a facebook post saying "we're back"

I find it funny that these guys only use Facebook.

 

Let’s gooo

 

Oh boy that's something.

I would be stoked for new music but I have no idea what it would sound like. Saying "we're back" sure sound more hopeful than just a couple shows.

 

Crazy crazy crazy

 

Wild! I thought these guys would come back for festivals eventually but given the "we're back" statement sure sounds like new music could be on the horizon.

On another note someone needs to tell them that social media has changed a lot since they were last around haha.

 

I have no financial business wanting to go to Riot Fest to see them but here we are

 

I saw TAI at their Riot Fest reunion play through of Almost Here. It was awesome. I would love to see them put out some new music. They were ahead of their time and would have been much more successful after the first album 5-10 years later. Santi is so good, but it didn't seem to fit what was going on with the other Fueled By Ramen bands at the time.

Their headlining show with PATD Acceptance and Hellogoodbye will forever be one of my favorite shows of all time.

 

What a fantastic lineup right there.

EDIT: oh I'm late

If they put out another album I'm here for it

Fast Times at Barrington High is baked into my brain for all of time
