The Academy Is… Amazing
Posted by Bone at November 22nd, 2005
So Richard awoke me from my lie-in (8:20 alarm was just a magnificent illusion)with the joyous news that not one but four packages had arrived for me.
A couple of books for my dissertation (thankyou Amazon Marketplace for the ma-hoosive discount on RRP) and my semi-long awaited CDs from America. Self Against CIty’s EP ‘take it how you want it’ which is alright, but I haven’t given it a decent listen yet. And lastly, The Academy Is…’s album called ‘Almost There’ which is foot-tappingly awesome. I remember reading about them a while back on Punktastic and remembering that I should give them a listen but put it off until I noticed they were playing at the Charlotte here in merry-old Leicester.
Persauding Rory of their greatness is proving to be quite a struggle, but that’s just ‘cos he likes to annoy me, a lot. I forced him out of my room with the CD in hand.
Head over to purevolume.com/theacademyis for a couple of (legal) downloads.
When are The Academy Is… playing? I think i got some of their stuff for my sister. Its highly likely ill go if im not in Amsterdam! Nice blog btw…

Tuesday 24th January, though they’ll have probably sold out of tickets (£7 before booking fee) by the time Rory decides he wants to go.
