About The Academy Is...

Chicago band the Academy Is... have a melodic yet aggressive emo pop sound. They started out in the early 2000s touring alongside similar bands like Fall Out Boy and Armor for Sleep, and gained a following with their trio of albums Almost Here (2005), Santi (2007), and Fast Times at Barrington High (2008). At the peak of their popularity, they decided to go their separate ways and disbanded in 2011. After briefly reuniting in 2015 for the tenth anniversary of their debut, the Academy Is... got back together sporadically for tours and special events, eventually working on new material for their 2026 album Almost There.
