The Academic Unleash 'Mixtape 2003' Music Video
Young Irish indie-rockers The Academic have revealed the official music video for their infectious single Mixtape 2003. The track, a scintillating burst of twenty-first century rock n’ roll, follows on from their hugely successful debut EP Loose Friends out late last year and arrives at the end of a busy summer of festivals, including standout performances at Reading & Leeds and Pukkelpop. I adore this song guys! So much energy and the visuals look great! Check it out below!
The highly talented four-piece, comprising of Craig Fitzgerald (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Matt Murtagh (lead guitar/backing vocals), Stephen Murtagh (bass) and Dean Gavin (drums), have enjoyed a whirlwind last twelve months with notable appearances at Eurosonic, Electric Picnic and The Great Escape, as well as receiving support and Radio 1 airplay from Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart.
Having already supported the likes of Noel Gallagher, Catfish & The Bottlemen and Circa Waves, the indie outfit are certainly starting to make a name for themselves on the live circuit, and with a UK & Ireland headline tour recently announced for the autumn, they’re only likely to get better.
