We Are Scientists – “Barbara”
Record Label: Masterswan Records
Genre: Indie Rock
Band Link: www.wearescientists.com
Buy on Amazon.com
We Are Scientists is a name that I’ve seen pop up many times and seen them playing the area. I don’t recall ever hearing their stuff besides the catchy tune “After Hours” from Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. I could be wrong though; their music sounds very familiar. Even though I didn’t really know much about the band, I definitely like their music now.
