Math & Physics Club

Seattle five-piece Math and Physics Club will charm you with short, smart pop songs filled with sweet sentiments and jangly instrumentation. With inspiration drawn from their 80's pop roots, along with a nod to 60's folk, the sound is familiar but fresh, and before it's over you may well find yourself humming along and daydreaming of lost loves.

Childhood friends Charles and James first picked up guitars and started writing their own songs in college, but the collaboration remained confined to dreary Pacific Northwest basements until they met Kevin, Saundrah, and Ethan within a fortunate span of just a few months during the summer of 2004.

With a hastily sewn together demo recorded in their basement, they managed to catch the ear of Jimmy Tassos at Matinee Recordings. They soon signed on as the only active American band on the label and found themselves amidst Matinee's impressive roster of indiepop royalty, including The Lucksmiths, Would-be Goods, Pipas, and Harper Lee. They released their debut EP, titled Weekends Away, in February 2005, and they are working on a follow-up due later this summer.
