We Are Scientists

We Are Scientists is an American band, formed in 2000, featuring Keith Murray (guitar and lead vocals), Chris Cain (bass guitar and backing vocals), Max Hart (keys and guitar), and previously Michael Tapper (drums and backing vocals). In their own words, the band creates "rock music of the thoughtful, sometimes epic, often loud, vaguely danceable, implicitly humanist variety". The band's sense of humor is often commented upon, particularly their banter and jokes between songs at gigs and their often surreal and humorous answers to questions in interviews. They have a larger following in Britain than their native North America.
