WE ARE THE PHYSICS, purveyors of the completely fictional MUTANT SCIENCE PUNK ROCK hail hail from Glasgow, Scotland and first graced a stage in 2005 by mistake when a better band was cancelled. Originally known as WE ARE THE PHYSICS CLUB AND THEREFORE EVERYTHING WE SAY IS FACT, the spindly legged quartet source from bands such as Devo, The Skids, Polysics, Buddy Holly & Ex Models. The Phys have been relentlessly gigging up and down the UK and across Europe, sharing stages and Haribo with bands such as Art Brut, Polysics, Franz Ferdinand, You Say Party! We Say Die! & 30 Seconds To Mars in an effort to become half decent all the while dancing like robots.
Known for their eccentric leg manoeuvres and bad eyesight, the band released their first LP in 2008 called WE ARE THE PHYSICS ARE OK AT MUSIC, which became the first album ever to be simultaneously brilliant and shit. In 2009, WATP toured Japan, had their video nominated for a BAFTA and began working on their second record which they claim will only be available on bluetooth or as a self-replicating virus that destroys all other mp3s on your computer.
Alright guys I heard you can do athletics on a wee sampler the other day its cracking! and less than three sounds like a scottish polysics with a bit more balls, it's sound.
Strange day. After watching a documentary about streakers suffering from over exposure, I took a nap. It was a short one. I woke up a midget. At first I was freaking out, jumping around, trying to reach the wall phone. It tired me out. So I sat on a foot stool and placed my face in my hands wondering why this had happened to me. In the middle of self-pitying I started noticing how much fun it was to kick and swing my feet. I was smiling again, and found myself running through the house at full speed... wrestling with my now giant puppy. Oh, the joy! I hadn't had so much fun in years! We laughed and played and laughed until we both fell asleep exhausted on the living room floor. Then I woke up and ruined the whole damned thing.

Hey lads! At long last I've gotten round to reproducing the article we did for Artrocker Magazine. A copy has now been posted to my website at LOUD HORIZON MUSIC, so anyone who was too skint - or just too plain miserable - to shell out a measly £3.25, can now read the whole kaboona by simply clicking on the banner below, which take them directly to the site.
