When the first record tops a country’s charts, the band’s gotta be good. There’s no exception with Irish indie rock outfit The Academic, who entered at #1 with last year’s Tales From The Backseat.
The Academic’s aversion to indie stereotypes has made them an international standout, whose highly-anticipated sophomore album drops early next year. The wait will be long but there’s no need for a chaser with the retro-influenced lead single, “Aftertaste”!
