<b>October 15<sup>th</sup></b>, <b>We Are Scientists</b> release their first music in three years in the form of a new EP entitled

the kicking of my ass by playground bullies, I’d definitely be worried about the sanctity of my butt, given the tenderness of these tunes,” says guitarist/vocalist Keith Murray, glancing nervously over his shoulder.

contributed to two songs to <i>Business Casual</i>. The 7’ was sold exclusively through the band’s website, and made available only to those with money. “We sure aren’t giving this thing away,” said keith at the time. “I mean, it’s very cheap, but it’s not,
like, zero money.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
