 (11 Customer Reviews)
On its second full-length studio album, SANTI, the Academy Is follows in the emo-goes-pop footsteps of fellow Illinois act Fall Out Boy by adding both gloss and heft to its sensitive-guy, punk-influenced sound. Easing the Academy lads into their ... Full Descriptionmore expansive approach is in-demand producer/performer Butch Walker, who gives each track a sterling sheen, as evinced on the wiry "LAX to O'Hare" and the catchy lead single, "We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands." Although some Academy diehards may be put off by the group's more accessible aesthetic, SANTI shows that a broader palette suits the band just fine.
The Academy Is...: William Beckett (vocals); Mike Carden, Michael Guy Chislett (guitar); Adam T. Siska (bass guitar); Andy 'The Butcher' Mrotek (drums, background vocals).
Recording information: Pulse, Silverlake, CA.

Amazing.
I've been a of TAI for a few years now and I can easily say that they are my favourite band, ever. They never fail to amaze me.
Also, if you guys can get your hands on their EP that came out in 2004 (which is unfortunately sold out), I encourage you to listen to it. It's great.
If they are in your town or country, see them! They are just breath taking.
Love, love this band!

| | Cute Is What We Aim For Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch CD (2006)
Santi CD music
$10.49 
Buffalo, New York's Cute Is What We Aim For are best known for their countless hooks, pop sensibility and witty lyrics. Their debut record "The Same Old Blood Rush With a New Touch" was produced by Matt Squire (Panic! At the Disco, Thrice, Northstar). The band's online presence is unlike anything Fueled by Ramen has ever experienced.
Buffalo-based emo-pop quartet Cute Is What We Aim For serves up familiar-sounding powerchords, punchy drums, and soaring hook-filled choruses. Also familiar is the band's tongue-in-cheek wordplay and their penchant for whine-centric, ...
| | Cobra Starship While The City Sleeps, We Rule The Streets CD (2006)
Santi music CDs
$12.15
Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta first grabbed the world's attention with his catchy, tongue-in-cheek movie theme song, "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)" (and its attendant video's all-indie-star cast), and then enjoyed some notice for his Gwen Stefani pastiche "Hollaback Boy." Here, he enlists the Ivy League's guitarist Ryland Blackinton and bassist Alex Suarez for a full-length album of exuberant and clever pop-punk built on brash guitars, funny hipster-skewering ...
| | Amy Winehouse Back To Black CD (2006)
Santi songs
$11.95 
BACK TO BLACK's production is an artful blend of sophisticated '60s R&B and 21st-century stylistic poaching, with "Tears Dry on Their Own" incorporating elements of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and Winehouse sounding like Billie Holiday fronting a reggae band on the old-fashioned cheating song "Just Friends." Densely packed with musical history and often conjuring a dark, Portishead-esque atmosphere, BACK TO BLACK is a sumptuous-sounding collection freighted with blunt confessionals of a lush life.
It doesn't take much listening to Amy Winehouse's 1960s pop period piece to realize that this is a tribute with an edge--nice girls back then didn't sing about boozing and rehab. Since her 2003 debut album, FRANK, Winehouse has been a frequent presence on the gossip pages of the U.K. tabloids, and her songwriting here candidly reflects her experiences with drinking, sex, and drugs.
Personnel: Amy Winehouse (background vocals); Binky Griptite, Thomas Brenneck (guitar); Helen Tunstall (harp); Perry Montague-Mason, ...
