We Are Scientists

About We Are Scientists
We Are Scientists are Keith Murray and Chris Cain, who met at college in California before moving the band to New York. Their major-label debut, With Love and Squalor, produced the singles Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt and The Great Escape, and its jittery guitars and big choruses found an especially loyal audience in the UK.
They have since released a steady run of albums, including Brain Thrust Mastery, Helter Seltzer, Huffy and Lobes, gradually adding synths and glossier production around the same hook-first songwriting. Drummers have come and gone, Razorlight's Andy Burrows among them. On stage, Murray and Cain's deadpan back-and-forth between songs is treated as part of the set.
