Glasgow, Scotland

First gracing stages in Glasgow, Scotland in 2005, We Are the Physics (Originally the band went by the exhaustive moniker We Are the Physics Club and Therefore Everything We Say Is Fact, but — thankfully — shortened it soon after forming.) were an experimental post rock band that drew inspiration from such varied artists as Devo, the Skids, and Buddy Holly. The band built their fan-base and honed their chops on a number of shows and tours throughout Europe, eventually signing a deal with One Records, and releasing the single "Less Than Three" in 2006. "Fear of Words" followed in 2007, and in 2008, the band planned a May release for their debut album, We Are the Physics Are OK At Music. To support the album release the band had touring plans for the onset of that year, as well as a warm up single, April's "You Can Do Athletics, BTW."
