Ashlee’s Y2K Wednesday Takeover! The Academy Is... 3/12/25 Ashlee’s ALT2K Song Picks!
Ashlee’s taking over again! I’ll let Gene pick the bonus tune! Gene gonna do a #Y2kWednesday post later so I’m taking over this one! In the format of #ThreeTuneTuesday I’m picking three tunes on this Wednesday morning!
I pick three tunes from the same band. One song off each of there three total albums. The band is The The Academy Is... and there first album “Almost Here” came out in 2005 and I’ll pick the song “Attention” from the first album. The band was a Chicago suburbs band who was friends with Fall Out Boy who when they got big (Fall Out Boy) they went and got The Academy Is signed and took them out on tour multiple times. Good friends indeed doing same with bands like Gym Class hero’s & Paramore! Second song I choose “Same Blood” a song off the second album 2007’s “Santi” and round it out with a third pick from there third and final album 2008’s “Fast Times At Barrington High” picking the song “His Girl Friday”.

Big shoutout to Fall Out Boy for putting their friends on, they're the real ones. Sometimes it's the guitar that gets me in these songs 🤣
His Girl Friday sounds really good
Love it!
That song sounds like a hit! It never was though. But sounds like a big catchy radio hit and probably should have been.
