After their self-released debut album, ‘Tales From The Backseat,’ skyrocketed to the top of the chart in 2018, the Irish quartet embarked on a global journey, touring right across the UK, Europe, and a North America. Revered for their live shows, their infectious blend of buoyant guitar hooks and poignant lyrics about teenage escapades resonated far beyond the Irish countryside where they grew up.

For a band that started by learning Kings Of Leon covers in a local pub in 2013, The Academic’s ascent has been nothing short of meteoric.
