Artist of the Week: The Academy is
Here's the deal, as most people know, new music albums are normally released on Tuesdays. Well this week's artist is releasing their new album this Tuesday. But before we get to that, lets learn a little bit about them. The band originated from a suburb of Chicago, IL known as Hoffman Estates. In 2003, William Beckett(Vocals) and Michael Carden(Guitar) decided to start a band, so they added Adam T. Siska(Bass), Adrian LaTrace Jr(Guitar) and Mike DelPrincipe(Drums) to the group. The band then went into the studio and recorded their debut EP The Academy. After hearing a couple of the songs, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy immediately signed them to his label Fueled by Ramen. In 2004 the band started recording their first album under their new label. After they finished the album and went on a tour, the band went through a line up change with Tom Conrad, replacing LaTrace and Andy Mrotek replaced DelPrincipe. Then on February 8 2005, the band released Almost Here. The album would spawn three great singles in "Checkmarks", "The Phrase That Pays" and "Slow Down". In October 0f 2006, the band had announced that they had parted ways with Tom Conrad, and would be replaced by Michael Guy Chislett. Following this, the band started working on their next album and on April 3, 2007 the band released Santi. The album would spawn three more great singles in "We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands", "Neighbors" and "Everything We Had."
