THE ACADEMIC – SINGLE REVIEW

The Academic – Bear Claws 
The Academic - Bear Claws

Release Date: Out Now

I’m sensing some sort of sync opportunity as this Irish indie quartet hail from Mullingar  so we could soon see a Listen With Mullingar hook up if we play our cards right. Anyway, corporate shenanigans aside, The Academic’s new single ‘Bear Claws’ is a delightful indie-pop romp that will have audiences swooning and swaying in equal measure. Smoother than Vampire Weekend, more romantic than the Strokes but with more of an edge than Bombay Bicycle Club and the melodies of early Teenage Fanclub you can see why these four lads are making a name for themselves. Off they go to America with at least one great tune and who’s to say they haven’t got more?
