Irish indie stars The Academic have shared new single ‘Kids (Don’t End Up Like Me)’.
“It’s one of the first songs I remember writing back when I was a teenager,” singer Craig Fitzgerald explains.
“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.”
The band are set to release EP ‘Community Spirit’ on 16th July.
