Weekly Volcano readers are ahead of their time. In 2012, they voted the acoustic duo Science! - guitarists and singers Justin Stang and Jim Elenteny - as "Best New Band" in Thurston County. In 2013, they awarded Science! For "Best New Album" for their self-titled debut album.

Since winning their major awards, Science! has toured extensively, been endorsed by Ninkasi Brewery and Monday, Nov 11, made their Seattle television debut on King 5's New Day, where they performed the title track off their upcoming full-length album.

"It was an incredible experience to have the ability to share our music with such a broad and diverse audience in comparison to traditional club gigs," notes Stang. "We were thrilled to have such a terrific opportunity and excited to see all our hard work materialize in such a great way."

With a CD tucked under their belts, and a chocolate lab by their sides, Science! has plenty on the horizon. Next year will be a big - their new studio release will drop in March and they'll tour the West Coast then embark on a 30 U.S. city tour.

In the meantime, hear them on the The Marty Riemer Show at 9:30 a.m. Friday, Nov 22, then catch the two guitarists later that night live at a free show in the Pig Bar at live later that night at a free show in the Pig Bar.
