The Academy Is... Interview Questionnaire

[Rohan Kohli]

I'll be interviewing The Academy Is... (http://www.theacademyis.com) in the near future. Please leave any questions you'd like for me to ask the band in the replies. Thanks!

[DroppedUrPocket]

Ask William Beckett why he doesn't make his own image instead of stealing Adam Lazarra's TAYF-era image.

[anamericangod]

what was it like working with Butch Walker?

[fedhed7]

Are they planning on releasing another album this year, and if so, have they started recording for it?

[level4loser]

ask them how they feel about all the bands that sound the exact same making money off the same market demographic.

and how it feels to have signed their entire life away to victory.

[Jared Kaufman]

[quitmyscene]

is "the fever" going to be on the new cd, and if yes, as an acoustic or a full band song?

i'm seeing them saturday (and tuesday) and i'm more than excited.

[Jentheoptimist]

Ask them: what's all this message board hoopla about them stealing The Auditions gimmick?

[ICEMOUNTAIN]

Ask them Why they didnt put Mike Delprincipe and Aj Latres's names on the new record Almost Here. They both were part of the writing process and recorded the album Almost Here. They got no Credit for anything??? Instead the "Butcher and Tom" are assumed to have played On the Album.???

huh? I love good chicago drama...what did i miss?

[watchmyheadspin]

hahahhahahha

[sneakysmith87]

Ask William how he feels about the fact that all his shows will be overun with ugly fat chicks after their performance on TRL.

[chcougar1]

haha yeah....im glad this tour was already sold out...it will probably be the last time i can stand the crowd...but it will be the 5th time I've seen them so I've lived a good life haha

[sneakysmith87]

Yeah Ive seen them 3 times now just at smaller New York shows. Its sad that it probly wont be fun to see them anymore.

[joeshmoe909]

What is it like to have some of your biggest fans hate you once your amazing talent gets reveald to mass (of 13 year old fat chicks)? Its not like Almost Here got scratched and rewritten to make it on mtv off a major label. You guys were just writing stuf you liked and wanted too and your unbelievable.

[MrBaileySays]

ask them how they feel about all the bands that sound the exact same making money off the same market demographic.

Dude, I'd like to ask you when they signed to Victory.

because I'm sure this is news to the entire world.....
You are like the Al Jezzera of ap.net

[pretty_in_punk3]

ask what their plans are for the new album...

and how their first experience on TRL was...HA

and WHY they had to let their chicago HOB show sell out so i couldn't get tickets....:'( i would definately love some like contest to win tickets to that show...PLEASE!!! lol.....

[pretty_in_punk3]

ask butcher (drummer) how he got the name THE butcher bishop to begin with.

i've always wondered why they call him that when his name is andy. ???

[The_New_Cancer]

Please ask them if they have plans to release a third single, if so what song?

[vin_007]

which was the best show on the thier sold out uk tour in jan? i saw them in birmingham last saturday which is a great music city with a great venue! p.s they played two new songs, the fever (full band ) and will played a new acoustic song on his own but i didnt remember the title.

[Self_Destruct]

ask butcher (drummer) how he got the name THE butcher bishop to begin with.

If I remember correctly, he used to work as a butcher. And I think he might be a vegetarian, so it was ironic? Hah, I could be way off, but I think that's it.

[vegasbabyvegas]

is "the fever" going to be on the new cd, and if yes, as an acoustic or a full band song?

i'm seeing them saturday (and tuesday) and i'm more than excited.

The Fever will be a full band song on the record and is AMAZING live with the full band. You'll see it on the XBOX tour.

Almost Here was written by Mike Carden and William Beckett.

That was a minor error. Butcher and Tom had been with them when they sent in the info. for the booklet, and in all of the excitement of getting signed and putting out a new disc, it just slipped all of their minds. They didn't realize it until it had already been pressed. It's not something that they're trying to hide or deny by not making it public that Butcher and Tom weren't the ones who played on the CD, but there's nothing they could do about it now.

ask butcher (drummer) how he got the name THE butcher bishop to begin with.

Before he joined the band, he was a butcher. After working there for awhile, he became vegetarian; and when he joined the band, all of the guys thought that it was pretty ironic/funny. So "The Butcher" stuck.


I don't mean to steal your thunder by answering some of the interview questions. These ones get asked quite frequently, so I just wanted to maybe get some new information out of the interview.

[DroppedUrPocket]

The motherfucking Academy streetteam showed up.

yeah man... like i was saying earlier... victory records rolls around (or used to roll around) every pop-punk type show in the entire chicagoland area, from the arlington heights KoC to the metro. if youre a band in this area with recognition that plays their style of music, victory records is starting to own your soul.

and to whoever called me the al jazerra of ap.net, i need you to know that i will fly planes into any show you ever go to.

[bikescene]

did they like london? i'm from london and i demand to know.

[averageloser]

ask bill if he's planning to do a side project with pete wentz...

[alex berl]

Ask William if theres any chance of hearing some new Remember Maine songs

[ICEMOUNTAIN]

Almost Here was written by Mike Carden and William Beckett.

Mike and Bill did not write the entire cd by themselves. I know that for a fact. Mike and Aj were there practicing and writing for more than 8 hours a day sometimes. Mike and Aj had a fair amount of imput on Amost Here.

[garlicgirl1210]

really.....what does the t in adam t. siska mean?

what did sisky do for his 18th birthday? anything 18-y?

does he feel like he missed out on anything from his youth because he has been in the band?

[DroppedUrPocket]

Why are TAI... fans so gay?
