Research Into Album Artwork: The Academy Is...

The Academy Is... is an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 2003. They are currently signed by the Decadence imprint of the Fueled by Ramen label. The band has released three studio albums, Almost Here, Santi, and Fast Times at Barrington High, and four EPs.
The band's third studio album, Fast Times at Barrington High, was released on August 19, 2008 through Fueled by Ramen. The title refers to the high school William Beckett, Adam Siska, and videographer Jack Edinger attended. The first single 'About a Girl' was based in high school where William Becket relives his experience there. The nerves and emotions that every teenager starts to feel with the opposite sex.
The Album artwork represents the music video in one image. The obvious awkward stance of William Beckett on the left and a girl that he supposedly likes on the right. Again the band have related their artwork and the narrative of the single's music video around each other.
