About We Are Scientists

We Are Scientists is a rock band based in New York City that was formed in Berkeley, California, in 1999. The band consists primarily of guitarist and vocalist Keith Murray and bass guitarist Chris Cain. Since 2013, drummer Keith Carne has joined the band for studio recordings and live performances. The band has released eight studio albums, excluding their early release Safety, Fun, and Learning (In That Order), which they have described as more of a rough draft than a proper album. Their debut studio album, With Love and Squalor, achieved commercial success, selling 100,000 copies within the first six months. Subsequent albums include Brain Thrust Mastery (2008), Barbara (2010), TV en Français (2014), Helter Seltzer (2016), Megaplex (2018), Huffy (2021), Lobes (2023), and Qualifying Miles (2025). In addition to their music, Keith Murray and Chris Cain are known for incorporating humor into their interviews, press releases, and live performances.
