Assassinate the Scientist

Florida rockers Assassinate the Scientist have two loves: quirky low-rez artwork and quirky low-rez music. The D.I.Y. ethic is smeared all over them like a canned cheese on a hobo, but they smell better. I hope. The tunes mix the warm rock vocals of Muse and Paramore, spliced together with jagged punk rock monotones, and wrapped up with punchy riffs and a silliness that’s contagious. A young band, they’ve only been around since 2008 but are already touring extensively.

Assassinate the Scientist will be playing FEST 8 in Gainsville, Florida this upcoming Halloween.
