Capitol

Capitol Records, founded in 1942 as Liberty Records, is a renowned music label based in Hollywood, California. With a rich history and impressive sales of 42 million records by 1946, Capitol quickly became one of the Big Six studios. In 1955, it was acquired by British company EMI for $8.5 million and later became part of the Universal Music Group's Worldwide division in 1979. The merger with Priority Records in 2001 further solidified Capitol's position in the industry.

EMI began releasing Capitol products in the UK, Europe, and Australasia from January 1956 onwards after licenses with other record companies expired. Over the years, Capitol has seen various changes in ownership and management. In September 2012, it was purchased by Vivendi S.A., owner of Universal Music Group.

Capitol Records is known for its distinctive album prefix codes that provide valuable information about each release. These codes include letters indicating stereo or mono recordings, price codes denoting different list prices, indicators for multiple discs or special packaging.

The Academic is an indie rock band hailing from Mullingar, Ireland. Formed in 2013, the four-piece group consists of Craig Fitzgerald on vocals and guitar, Dean Gavin on drums, Matthew Murtagh on bass, and Stephen Murtagh on guitar. With their infectious energy and catchy melodies, The Academic has gained a loyal following both in Ireland and internationally. Their debut album "Tales From The Backseat" was released in 2018 to critical acclaim. Known for their dynamic live performances, The Academic continues to captivate audiences with their heartfelt lyrics and anthemic sound.

Since their formation, The Academic has been making waves in the music industry with their unique blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities. They have toured extensively across Europe and North America, sharing stages with renowned acts such as Twenty One Pilots and Catfish and the Bottlemen.

With a growing discography that includes hit singles like "Bear Claws" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?", The Academic has proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with in the alternative music scene. Their music resonates with listeners of all ages, capturing the essence of youth while addressing universal themes of love, friendship, and self-discovery.

Irish indie rock band The Academic release their sophomore album titled Sitting Pretty. Produced by Nick Hodgson (Dua Lipa, Mark Ronsoand), Sitting Pretty is an album about navigating life in your 20s; the uncertainties and the ever-shifting sense of self. The album is a statement of the band ready to announce themselves properly, far beyond the Irish neighborhoods that already claim them as hometown heroes.
