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.
