Bio of The Academy Is... “We want to move people… to impact in them the same way we’ve been affected through music.” The Academy Is…almost never was. Frontman William Beckett and guitarist Mike Carden grew up as rivals, in separate bands on the Chicago local music scene. William eventually left his band, wanting to take music more seriously and looking for someone who shared his passion. Mike’s band broke up also and the two gradually found themselves talking more and more; engulfed in amazing conversations about music. After realizing they were very much alike, they decided to try their hand at writing songs together and The Academy Is…was born. William and Mike share a love of the classics - Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, U2. These elements, along with eclectic More... (Submit New The Academy Is... Lyrics) (Submit New The Academy Is... Lyrics) Review about The Academy Is... love, love, love TAI | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Rumored Nights performed by The Academy Is... i absolutely love The Acadmey Is..., they are amazing and this is my favorite song off of Fast Times at Barrington High. my friend had the album before i did and i was listening to it for the first time and this song really hit me. dont know why but this song is the best. allegory | Reviewer: sara ------ About the song Checkmarks performed by The Academy Is... so it's agreed that this is most likely about a guy who's girl cheated on him. don't take things so literal though; I think the "suck your so called pity" line just refers to him telling her not to feel sorry for him about what she did, not necessarily about fellatio. he realizes that all she ever wanted was a hook up and he doesn't want to hear her excuses. probably he knew all along she was just in it for sex, and he's not too upset by the "taste of other boys on [her] tongue". those kind of relationships never last. this song just brings some many memories back.I love it. what's funny is that years after hearing this song, I've eventually become the Checkmarks girl.. The Hardest Part Is Leaving | Reviewer: Futile Assayer ------ About the song Summer Hair = Forever Young performed by The Academy Is... I love this song. This video. The fact that I am enchanted every time I hear it. Ironic as this is may be characterised as one that makes you feel happy for that split second it captures your attention. But enchant is nothing less than what it did to me. I love this song. I may sound like millions of others but I mean every word. Promish. TAI... should sound like this again. | Reviewer: Guess ------ About the song In Our Defense performed by The Academy Is... This is song is amazing. It's full of angst and definitely plays out the emotions of the decieved way well than I ever could. TAI... sounds better in this EP than Fast Times. I disagree with you, Alicia. Fall Out Boy has nothing to do with this song when it was written. I doubt the two bands even met yet. Also, it doesn't sound like FOB. I can't hear Patrick in any part of the song. Fall Out Boy can suck my toes | Reviewer: Umm no... ------ About the song In Our Defense performed by The Academy Is... Sorry but this band was not in anyway associated with the piece of failure you call "Fall Out Boy" when this song was recorded. This song was recorded way before the guys from FOB had pubes or thousands of teeny bopper, loser, pre-pubescent fans. Pete Wentz is a fag. TAI is Awesome | Reviewer: Dreaming big ------ About the song Down And Out performed by The Academy Is... I love this song!!!!! most of TAi songs go very deep and this one def. does! I can feel all thepain this person is going through and i love songs that can do that!!! I love them and I dnt carw what u think a BIG BIG mess | Reviewer: Emma ------ About the song We've Got A Big Mess On Our Hands performed by The Academy Is... I believe I read something about this song being about how William Beckett was going through a hard time (alcohol??) And that it made him into a totally different person (hence the mirror-twin-guy. I guess thats why he has a big, big mess. he also mentions how he doesnt look innocent with his big, big mess on his hands. How nobody does. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG, BTW. the academy is...<3 | Reviewer: Emily ------ About the song Classifieds performed by The Academy Is... I love TAI and this is hands down my favorite song by them. It always comes back to me, through every great album they make, this song sticks in my head the most. I love all of the boys of The Academy Is... and they really are just as awesome live. They never disappoint. <3 | Reviewer: Amie ------ About the song Almost Here performed by The Academy Is... I love this song. William is a great singer. They're such nice guys too. I met Mike at an airport one time, he was eating Hungry Jacks with Jack, and they were both so nice :D they talked to me for like 5 minutes, but I had to go get my flight. Amazing band. I remember the day I saw them live.. I'll never forget it. <3 ilts | Reviewer: Adam ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... This song came out the day after my breakup with her and I instantly connected. It's weird that I love this song so much yet when I make a playlist this one has to be off it due to the fact that when I cry I prefer it to be not in public-Adam omgsh | Reviewer: panque ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... people, stop arguing about the meaning of this song, i mean.. everybody has a different opinion & i think everyone has the right to express it.. but i think what really matters is the message it gives you, not to other people..maybe for you it's about his exgf or maybe about his friend,, who cares.. what matters is the meaning it has for you amazing song really.. amazing band.. .. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slow Down performed by The Academy Is... You kiss me like an overdramatic actor Who's starving for work With one last shot to make it happen You won the role, you've played your part You've been cordially invited But I'm not impressed And I'm definitely not excited Cause the film runs a shallow budget And the writer's subject script isn't any deeper i really love this Metaphor. Great Song. meaning of the song...i think | Reviewer: alex1234 ------ About the song Checkmarks performed by The Academy Is... what i think the song is that he caught his g/f giving another guy a you know what i.e. "So suck your so called pity down.So take your cold, cold heart and drown. And dont forget to take deep breaths" and that makes the most sense to me at least help... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song You Might Have Noticed performed by The Academy Is... there is a video from the academy is... and william goes to a party or something and then everything starts going backwards and i wanna know what song that is. can anyone let me know. email is shortydora93@yahoo.com thanks so much help... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Skeptics And True Believers performed by The Academy Is... there is a video where everything is going backwards and he is at a birthday party for his girlfreind im guessing and im trying to find out what song it is. my email is shortydora93@yahoo.com thanks in advance. Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the album Santi performed by The Academy Is... Santi came out a while ago but I am still listening to it and I still think it's amazing. It's completely dfferent from Almost Here but it shows the band's grow. They have a much older sound and seem to have broken away form the typical alternative-emo sound that most bands signed by Fueled By Ramen Records have. Both of The Academy Is...'s albums are amazing and I can't wait for their new album Fast Times at Barrington High, coming out August 19th, 2008. TAI... | Reviewer: Layla ------ About the song Slow Down performed by The Academy Is... I truly think they are brilliant. Their lyrics are intriguing, and obviously make their fans think. I'm sure that's exactly what they want. It keeps interests high. And needless to say, they're impressive performers. Going to see them on Warped, and I saw them with FOB on the Honda Civic tour. =) I love them for the music they make and the brilliance of the band itself. HEY | Reviewer: hannah ------ About the song Mayonnaise performed by The Academy Is... just so you know this song is by the Smashing Pumpkins and NOT by The Academy Is... This is a really great cover, found only on their myspace (to my knowledge anyway). Both versions are AMAZING, this song is just brilliant. check it out! These lyrics = LOVE. | Reviewer: Shaye-Baye ------ About the song Down And Out performed by The Academy Is... Lalala... As distracted as I am by all the people publicly dissing some of my all-time favorite bands on this page, I'm going to go ahead and focus my review on the TAI song "Down and Out" - which is what this space is for. I absolutely LOVE The Academy Is..., and William Beckett is without a doubt one of the most beautiful boys I have ever seen in my life. The lyrics to some of these songs are amazing... There are so many good lines in them. In this song, for example, I absolutely love the line "Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces". It's just so clever, and it's making a decent point, too. If you don't speak up when the time is right, it's going to tear you apart - and you could easily lose a friend. Or worse, you could lose yourself. So, yeah!! TAI = LOVE. agreed | Reviewer: VenomVILEnce ------ About the song LAX To O'Hare performed by The Academy Is... I'm gonna have to agree with foreverlive and cristal, though I haven't seen the interview they're talking about, it makes more sense that it's actually about the guilt of leaving your loved ones behind when traveling.
