First/Last-Science!

"Science! is a musical pursuit of empirical evidence, using poetry and soundscapes to express the truth of daily life. Science! is something for the everyman to believe in. Their  self-titled EP speaks to the challenges of existence with a rip-roaring exclamation that every ounce of humanity matters, and no voice should go ignored. It’s political; it’s daring and dreamy; it’s the place where rock and folk meet to dance, smile and raise a frothy brew in celebration. Science! is comprised of guitarist and vocalist Justin Stang and multi-instrumentalist Jim Elenteny. For a stripped down two guitar, two mic set, the duo offers a full sound sure to turn any unfamiliar listener into a fist-shaking enthusiast. Stang and Elenteny share a bond stemming from childhood in Sayville, New York, and now thanks to a little fate and a change of residence, the two have reunited some 3,000 miles from their roots. The resulting chemistry of such a time-tested friendship pours from the stage and speakers of each Science! show."

Check the band out at their official Website, Facebook, Twitter, BandCamp and MySpace. The Seattle duo make their way to The Center of Harmony this Saturday and the band is giving away a free CD with every ticket. I want to thank both Jim Elenteny (Multi-Instrumentalist) and Justin Stang (Guitars/Vocals) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

We've not yet had a chance to perform in Pittsburgh and can't wait to get there and get rocking- from all that we've heard, it sounds terrific!
