A new EP from Chicago’s own The Academy Is… comes out tomorrow, and one track has made its way online prior to its release: “Sputter,” which has backing vocals by Jack’s Mannequin lead singer Andrew McMahon. The song’s something of a grower, with twinkling guitars and a chorus that opens up nice and big. Some music supervisor should snap up this song for a big epic breakup scene soon… [Banana's Music Club]
It seems like this band gets less and less popular, but I think they’re fine. I guess the public just never bit.
They had poor marketing this time around. Here in their hometown, I’ve yet to see any kind of advertising for this EP.
And zero radio play.
