Santi (2007)

Between Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, and Panic! At the Disco, the guys at onetime small-fry imprint Fueled by Ramen are probably dining on buckets of caviar these days, not bulk-buy soup noodles. The label's knack for cherry-picking the most commercial, pop-edged acts from across the emo/Warped Tour spectrum extends to The Academy Is..., whose just-edgy-enough indie punk has an endearing salty sweetness on their latest, Santi. The sound will likely draw fans from beyond the band's 300,000-plus MySpace friends list. B
