Take down the combine

About Me

Martin picked up a guitar. Darren picked up a guitar. Martin put down his guitar. James picked up a guitar. James put down his guitar. Alex picked up some sticks. James picked up a bass. Martin sat behind a piano (which was too heavy to pick up). This is Modern American Science.

"Where Pieces Join is an indie classic in waiting with an almost mournful vocal leading a beautifully arranged and played indie rock song. Coldplay would be hard pushed to write anything as good as this." - Heathen Angel

"Quite simply a revelation to me. Near perfect vocals, beautifully sympathetic musical backing, and some really precise songwriting." - Cool Noise

"As I write this, Modern American Science are unsigned, although I predict they won't be for much longer. Swirling atmospherics curl around soaring vocals." - CD Times

"Chris Martin will be wishing he wrote this." - Room Thirteen

"Modern American Science create soaring epics and have received the highest accolades by being compared to Bends-era Radiohead, The Smiths, and Hope Of The States." - Glasswerk

"Taking the melancholic gloriousness of I Am Kloot and marrying it to the stadium-sized choruses of U2 on a downer, watch out Keane, someone's come to take your throne away!" - Subba Cultcha

"Soaring piano harmonies, passionate and expressive vocals, and the rattle of snare drums with influences such as Tom McRae and Spiritualized coming through. Definitely well worth checking out." - Whisperin and Hollerin
