We Are Scientists: A Contest

The buzz began to hit worldwide when We are Scientists dropped their debut, With Love & Squalor, in the UK back in October, and three months later they brought it home with their January domestic release. The infectious tunes will drive you to do strange, angular dances to the stop-start rhythms, alarm clock guitars, and addictive melodies. We Are Scientists in fact looks like your stereotypical scientists (or at least 5th grade math teachers) – Chris Cain(bass guitar and backing vocals), Michael Tapper(drums and backing vocals) and Keith Murray(guitar and lead vocals) have the skinny pale guy rocker look down pat. Their rock songs certainly aren't all science – much more emotion. Don't get us wrong, the album isn't a downer - songs about passing out on the floor and hooking up are motivational.

Ok, so what's this all about? We Are Scientists play Avalon on Thursday (6/15) with the Arctic Monkeys. And we've got a bag o' swag to give ya. Enter the contest after the jump and you could be the lucky winner to receive: The Great Escape CD/DVD; The Great Escape CD Single; Nobody Moves, Nobody Gets Hurt CD Single; "Tailings" DVD (includes two videos and a behind the scenes feature); We Are Scientists Stickers. Everyone can be a winner if you check out the We Are Scientists video tour diary (call it a vlog on the road). Of course the video produced for It's a Hit is up on YouTube, and is accompanied by about a hundred other bootlegy videos of their live performances. Take the jump and enter to win.

If you can't make it to the show on Thursday, rest assured that We Are Scientists will return to the Hub. July 2, 2006. They'll be back in town with Au Revoire Simone and The Double on a NYC Trifecta ticket at the Paradise.
