Words: Sam Geary
Mullingar indie rock four, The Academic, return with their first new release since last year’s 'Mixtape 2013' - a dynamite single in the shape of 'Bear Claws'.
Released last Friday (July 7) after being premiered the day before by Annie Mac on her BBC Radio One show, the Irish band -Craig Fitzgerald, Dean Gavin, and brothers Matt and Stephen Murtagh - have come up with a big, upbeat track of rhythmic textures that features their trademark vocal style and scorching guitars, and sing-along chorus to boot.
Grab a listen.
Set to make their mark on the US, the band head Stateside this autumn to tour with Judah & The Lion.
