Over a year since I last wrote about The Academic they return with their latest single Mixtape 2003. Picking up exactly where they left off following the release of their debut EP, the track features a maturing sound that stretches light-years ahead of their fresh-faced image as soaring guitars grip from the onset. Produced by Phillip Magee, released August 12th, check out the band's electrifying new single below for yourselves with a list of upcoming tour dates.
