}}Fast Times at Barrington High is the third and final studio album by American rock band The Academy Is..., released in August 2008.[1][2]

Background

It was produced by S*A*M and Sluggo. The title refers to the high school to which William Beckett and Adam Siska went,[3] and a play on the title of the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The album cover photo was taken by William Beckett's sister, Courtney Beckett, and shows William sitting on a couch with Naomi, a friend of the band.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}

Pete Wentz posted a blog entry saying that he heard the demos for the new album and called them, "Mind blowing. Miles away from where they were."[4] Collaborations include Andrew McMahon from Jack's Mannequin; Gabe Saporta, Ryland Blackinton and Alex Suarez from Cobra Starship; and Mason Musso and Blake Healy from Metro Station.

Release

On June 26, Fast Times at Barrington High was announced for release in August.[5] Between June and August, the band performed on the 2008 edition of Warped Tour.[6] In between dates on this tour, the band performed a handful of shows with artists on Decaydance Records.[7] The band performed "About a Girl" and "Summer Hair = Forever Young" on Warped Tour and their Australian tour with Panic! at the Disco and Cobra Starship. Hot Topic released two new The Academy Is... T-shirts, one of which comes with a code for the free download of an acoustic version of "His Girl Friday".

The first single off the album is "About a Girl", which was released on July 15, 2008. On July 23, "Summer Hair = Forever Young" was posted on the group's Myspace profile.[8] "About a Girl" impacted radio on August 12.[9] Fast Times at Barrington High was released through Fueled by Ramen and Decaydance Records on August 19.[5] The Academy Is... held a contest for releasing new tracks, email addresses were entered on a page off the main website page and 8 winners were selected at random to receive a song off the album and also a call from the band and a free signed copy of Fast Times at Barrington High. In October and November, the band went on a headlining US tour, titled Bill & Trav's Bogus Journey Tour. They were supported by We the Kings, Carolina Liar and Hey Monday.[10] In late April 2009, the group performed at Give it a Name festival in the UK.[11] In August, the band went on a tour of Australia with Anberlin.[12]
