We Are Scientists
Biography
The Brooklyn-based indie rock trio We Are Scientists formed in 2000 around the talents of guitarist/lead vocalist Keith Murray, bass player Chris Cain, and drummer Michael Tapper. After building a small but devoted following through their epic live shows and a series of three self-released EPs, the group signed with Virgin Records. Their major-label debut, With Love and Squalor, was released in early 2006. In 2008, the group -- which was now just the duo of Cain and Murray -- put out their second full-length, also on Virgin, entitled Brain Thrust Mastery. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

Beter than Kings of Leon. KOL can't seem to get beyond one set of lyrics for their songs, boring as shite. These guys make them look like amatuers.

This is such an underrated band. They're really good, very tight live sound. I saw them with Art Brut in a tiny little club and it remains one of my favorite shows ever. Probably not Keith's favorite show- he jumped off of the drums and landed teeth on the mic. His mouth was bleeding; they did the rest of the show in double time and it was still great!
|

what a great band! they are so much better then most music out now.
|
||
First time I heard them, they were opening for Kings of Leon in Philly. Loved them ever since. Awesome band.
|
||
i'm really starting to like this band :) i've liked most of the songs suggested so far.
|
||
out of curiosity, has anyone pointed out that their name is the title of a caP n' Jazz song? It's funny that Pandora points that out about Scary Kids Scaring Kids, but not these guys.

quintvsshark says, "...lets something as trivial as geography impact their views..." right after, "You know what else is lame? When Brits sing like yanks." Hmmmm....
At least Hana was consistent. Oh... comment about the artist. I enjoy their music. |
||
Why would you wish they were from Britain? If it's good, it's good. You know what else is lame? When brits sing like yanks. Oh, and when an inept soul lets something as trivial as geography impact their views on a band. Stay off Pandora if that's the type of curmudgeonli n e s s you're going to bring.

wth isamu09. It doesn't matter where you're from. Musice is a multicultura l experience that everyone can participate in. Leave your American prejudices for some loser blog site. This is music.
|
||
I wish they were from Britain too. Something about Americans trying to sing like Brits turns me of a little. That being said, I have listened to this CD 20+ times. These guys rock!
|
||
this is the first time i have listened to them but so far so good; especially since their first CD title is a reference to J.D. Salinger's "For Esme; With Love and Squalor"
|
||
they're friends with the Lonely Island guys. The ones who wrote "j**z in my pants" for SNL plus a lot of other stuff. One of them directed the video for "It's a Hit". It was pretty cool.
|
||
the style of this band is amazing the flow of each song to the next is pretty good its crazy.
|
||
These guys are good! there music is so electric and energizing! Plus they just sond good! Inactions the best!
