Fast Times At Barrington High

The Academy Is...

“At one time or another every band reaches a turning point when they have to decide who they are and what direction they want to forge ahead with. Over the course of their past two records Almost Here and Santi, The Academy is… have became one of the most creative acts in the pop-punk circuit—however not even the band’s most strident supporters would predict the evolution they’d undergo with their third album.”

Fast Times At Barrington High, takes its moniker from the high school that frontman William Beckett and bassist Adam T. Siska attended in the suburbs of Chicago and not only bookends the first chapter of the band’s history, but also looks toward the future. In other words, if the Academy were Almost Here three years ago, they’ve finally arrived.
