On its 2005 debut, the Chicago-based emo-rock ensemble known as The Academy Is... unleashes surging punk-pop anthems (most notably "Attention" and "Checkmarks") that rely on melody more than angsty bombast. With fierce guitar lines, precise rhythms, and frontman William Beckett's plaintive (but not overwrought) vocals, this group makes the kind of music that gives the sometimes-maligned emo subgenre a good name.
With its earnest lyrics and breezy power pop-punk in the vein of Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is. found themselves a perfect home in the early-'00s signed to emo-punk stalwart Fueled By Ramen Records. Fronted by William Beckett with intense vocals that recall the quaver of new romantic and the theatrics of goth, the five-piece Chicago band's 2005 debut, ALMOST HERE, featured mostly straightforward three-chord punk. However, subsequent recordings would reveal an outfit embracing a more complex indie-rock sound.
