The Academic have been around the block since 2013 and they have been doing a fine job of serenading the masses – playing support to The Pixies at Live at the Marquee was just one of their bigger moments.
Apropos of not much at all, the lads cite their interests as FIFA (yes), toasted sandwiches (yes) and “culchie waving” (not a clue).
You can see The Academic at our first ever Sunday Sessions Live event along with Little Hours and David Keenan at Whelan’s on July 9. Apply for free tickets here.
