Young Irish indie-rockers The Academic have announced the forthcoming release of their brand new 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 in the midst of a busy summer of festival appearances.

The Academic Reveal New Single 'Mixtape 2003' - The Clothes Maiden

The Irish 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 performances 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 with their electric live shows and with appearances at Pukkelpop and Lowlands Festival to come in the next few months, as well as a UK headline tour recently announced for the autumn, they’re only likely to get better.
