Indie pop hopefuls The Academic have just unleased The anthem if the summer! “Kids (Don’t End Up Like Me)” has the timeless quality and joyous feel which is going to get stuck in your head for a very long time!
“Kids (Don’t End Up Like Me) is one of the first songs I remember writing back when I was a teenager. It was the first time that lyrics had come very easy to me. It’s written about the fear of not getting out of your hometown and amounting to anything. Thanks to the lockdown, I had plenty of time on my hands, but nothing to write about, so I started looking through all my old notebooks and found this song fully written. I had a gut feeling that it might come to life now with a few more years of living behind me since it was originally written.” – Craig Fitzgerald
“Kids (Don’t End Up Like Me)” is taken from the forthcoming “Community Spirit” EP, which is scheduled for release on July 9th
