We Are Scientists

We Are Scientists, an indie rock band from New York City, has built a career spanning over two decades on their distinctive blend of energetic rock and comedic wit. After We Are Scientists’ breakthrough with their 2005 album, ‘With Love and Squalor,’ which sold 100,000 copies in its first six months, the band established itself as a dynamic force in indie rock. The album featured international singles like ‘Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt’ and ‘The Great Escape,’ propelling them to sign with Virgin Records in 2005 and make their U.S. network television debut on the ‘Late Show with David Letterman.’ Formed in 1999 by Keith Murray (guitar, vocals) and Chris Cain (bass guitar), the band initially released their independent debut, ‘Safety, Fun, and Learning (In That Order),’ in 2002 on their Devious Semantics label, laying the groundwork for their subsequent chart success.

Continuing their extensive legacy, We Are Scientists celebrated the 10th-anniversary deluxe version of ‘TV en Français’ in 2024, reflecting on another significant work in their two-decade-plus career. The band is also currently preparing for the release of their highly anticipated ninth studio album, ‘Qualifying Miles,’ slated for 2025. With a consistent output of new music and a reputation for engaging live performances and an inimitable comedic sensibility, We Are Scientists continues to be a formidable and marketable presence in the indie rock landscape, consistently drawing significant audiences and critical acclaim across their extensive career.
