We Are Scientists – “With Love And Squalor” 20th Anniversary Tour announce three Irish dates

New York indie rock favourites We Are Scientists return to Dublin this year as part of their 20th anniversary tour of With Love and Squalor, playing the album in full, and all the hits. They’ll also be hitting up Cork and Belfast.

For over two decades, founding members Keith Murray and Chris Cain have built a reputation for sharp, hook driven indie rock, combining wiry guitars, witty lyricism and a consistently evolving sound. Since breaking through with their debut With Love and Squalor, the band have remained a staple of the international indie scene, earning gold certification in the UK and delivering era defining tracks including Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt, The Great Escape and After Hours.

Their new album Qualifying Miles sees the band returning to a more stripped back, guitar led approach, inspired by the 90s rock records that shaped them. Recorded with a raw band in a room feel, the record carries a reflective tone, touching on nostalgia, loss and the passing of time, while retaining the energy and immediacy that has long defined their live shows.

Renowned for pairing tight, energetic performances with dry humour and spontaneous stage banter, We Are Scientists have built a loyal following in Ireland over multiple sold out shows and festival appearances. The tour marks a welcome return and offers fans the chance to hear new material alongside two decades of fan favourites and the entirety of With Love And Squalor.
