Year 7, Day 183

Morning! Today's song is Bear Claws by The Academic.


The Academic is an Irish band active since 2013 and made up of Craig Fitzgerald, Matthew Murtagh, Stephen Murtagh, and Dean Gavin. They formed while they were in school together. They released an EP in 2015 and played a sold out show, the popularity leading to them being selected to represent Ireland at the Eurosonic Festival. And that led to them playing a lot of shows around Europe. This song came out in 2017 and went viral because of the video, so if it'll play in your country check it out. They're still relatively new in the industry so I don't have a lot of information about them. I know that they are signed and their debut album came out in 2018. Since then they've gotten a lot of positive reactions and have been doing some more touring in Europe so keep an eye out for them if you're in that hemisphere. 

Peace.
