The four-piece from Mullingar recorded a stripped back set for us…
The Academic have had a hell of a 2014 with a global publishing deal signed, headline shows, multiple festival appearances and support slots alongside the likes of The Pixies and Delorentos under their belt.
The fours lads from Mullingar; Craig Fitzgerald, Stephen Murtagh, Matt Murtagh and Dean Gavin, have picked up a raft of fans along the way including all of us in JOE Towers.
The guys called into us at the Workman’s Club in Dublin recently to record some tracks for our live music platform The Sunday Sessions.
We’re so excited for you to see these boys do their thing. Enjoy.
