Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 41, we look to NYC royalty, as we feature an interview with Keith Murray, guitarist and vocalist in the brilliant We Are Scientists.
Along with bassist Chris Cain, Keith Murray has been co-steering the good ship We Are Scientists for over 20 years now, the pair cementing themselves across nine studio albums (and various assorted releases) as indie rock royalty.
July 2025 saw the release of their latest album ‘Qualifying Miles’, but 2025 also marks a few anniversaries for We Are Scientists, with it being 15 years on from the release of third album ‘Barbara’ and amazingly, 20 years of their debut album ‘With Love and Squalor’!
With celebrations in store for the anniversaries and the new record, we thought it only right to re-connect with Keith, having had the band appear on Birthday Cake For Breakfast in one form or another over the past decade. We caught up with Keith over Zoom on the morning of the new album’s release to talk about thrash metal, the longevity of their friendship (the pair having met at a ‘Dawson’s Creek’ viewing party) and the top 8 band’s of all time.
