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... i <3 william beckett :) | Reviewer: rachel. ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... i cannot listen to this song loud enough :) this is a purely amazing song; just like all of their other songs. this song has a deep meaning. and the lyrics are great. and i think they have a special meaning to everyone and everyone can relate to this song in different ways. i think that's the best kind of song. i cannot get enough of this band. and william beckett is undescribable. the academy is...is....amazing! :) FOB Sell outs | Reviewer: CLaude ------ About the song Down And Out performed by The Academy Is... Yes, Fall Out Boy are tremendously big sell outs. At every concert I have been to of theirs lately they have done some lame ass endorsement of some product or other. On the Honda Civic Tour they did a bit were Pete was playing on top of a civic. So lame. The fact that they are sell outs says nothing about the quality of their music though- it is musically non-complex but catchy and enjoyable. :) | Reviewer: MaMaBaddxx3 ------ About the song Skeptics And True Believers performed by The Academy Is... so im not rly in2 rock music like that but my bessfren put me onto to tis song kuz she sed if reminded her of me and my x who i was widd for 9months. she is so right. kuz he rly is qoin nowhere widdout me. but i still love him. but the band keeps doin theaa tinq. they hot !!! Geeezzz | Reviewer: Lauro ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... I love this song it's so philosphical "take the pain out of love and love won't exist" even if you are caused to feel pain and you are willing to return to the person because of the love you have for them is very fucking deep I've gone throught that and it was infuriating how couldve I let that happen but the love sees past it all. Everything we had..... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... Wow everyone. I think this song is amazing as well=) it describes my situation perfectly. It makes me think of someone that I still care about, still miss, despite what he did. Especially the lines "and i do regret more than i admit" this is so true. I regret so much in the relationship i was in. just all the silly things that were such a big deal for me. And how he was so patient. He was my first love. And now he's gone. This song makes me cry. <='( even just the title "Everything we had" says it all. I miss everything we had. But now I have to "Turn off the light on my way out the door" Even though I can't move on, I have to move out of the way to let him move on. And the lyrics "For you I am blinded" Are probably the most touching of all. I am blinded for him. I love this song:') Checkmarks | Reviewer: Bianca ------ About the song Checkmarks performed by The Academy Is... When he says "You're bedroom behavior was never more than checkmarks on bedposts," he's saying that she was just another person he slept with. Like the phrase "Notch in your bedpost" where some people actually mark their beds to show how many people they have slept with. Of course, he's saying it out of hatred, because the girl cheated. Get A Clue! | Reviewer: KloeValentinexx ------ About the song In Our Defense performed by The Academy Is... This is a great song, one of my favourite TAI... tracks. But;; all you guys saying Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is... have never met or any shit like that, get a clue. The label TAI... is under is Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance. Take a guess who owns FBR/DD? Pete Wentz! TAI..., Panic At The Disco, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, and heaps of other bands are under FBR/DD, and they all work with eachother! For example, in the video for FOB song "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me", William Beckett AND Brendan Urie [from PATD] are BOTH the evil vampires in the clip. A cross video, "We've Got A Big Mess On Our Hands" and "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" are linked through the interlude in each. So seriously, if you're gonna make a statement as blunt as the ones below, make sure you can back it the fuck up. Bio needs updating.. | Reviewer: Mel ------ About artist/band The Academy Is... Just sayin. This bio is so OLD. Correct in every way but that after Almost Here was recorded Mr. Tom Conrad was replaced by the amazing and talented Michael Guy Chislett. From there on out, "Chizzy" has been guitarist and backing vocals in The Academy Is... Recording in the successful and well-loved albums called From The Carpet, Santi, and Fast Times At Barrington High. Letting go | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Everything We Had performed by The Academy Is... Its such an amazing song, and such an amazing band. This song starts this pain in the middle of my chest. Its so sad, and so true. I had to let go of the love of my life, because it was the right thing to do for both of us. Im still and will always love him. I really feel like Im his fly on the wall, only being as bright as he wants me to be, Il watch him through the eyes of a fly wherever he goes. I am SOO connected to the line where he sings "I am no gentleman, I can be a prick, and I do regret more than I admit", cuz sometimes I have been like that, and I do have alot of regrets about the way I acted sometimes. But love is sometimes about letting go, just like I feel the song means, that he had to turn out the light on his way out, and just be as bright as she wanted him to be. About this song. | Reviewer: Kendra Killaah ------ About the song Skeptics And True Believers performed by The Academy Is... The Academy Is is by far my favorite band and has been for about a 2 years now. This song hit the carts about 4 years ago, I heard it on the radio all the time. And that's how I started listening to them. I have a play list with nothing but there songs, even songs they have done with other bands, and songs they pretty much just threw away. I Love This Band<3* 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 You could review the artist/band The Academy Is... in Biography page You could review The Academy Is... album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review The Academy Is... song by clicking the song which you like  Download "The Academy Is..."
