black kids

this indie rock quintet from Florida may have been under the radar for some time, but not for much longer. the buzz that was building about them exploded when their debut CD Partie Traumatic dropped in July this year. The thesis of their work is pure unadulterated fun, harking back to past memories of energetic dancefloor anthems. Below you will find a generous helping from their album, with the first 3 singles likely to blow your mind and leave you wanting more.

1. I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You

2. Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)

3. Hurricane Jane

Get them here and here.

Here you will find a short sampler from The Academy Is… with 3 of their hits from previous albums. Take, enjoy and anticipate because their next cd, Fast Times at Barrington High will be released on 19 Aug.
