Australian group Scientists started out in the late '70s as besuited punks playing an energetic mix of New York Dolls-style glam and jangling power pop. Early singles like "Frantic Romantic" and "Last Night" are fine examples of just how good that mashup can sound. After a brief split, they returned in the early '80s as post-punk noise rockers. The Blood Red River EP announced their arrival and 1985's You Get What You Deserve cemented their place in the noise-rock firmament. After some disappointing time in London and a brief appearance on an American record label with 1986's Weird Love, Kim Salmon broke up the band. After years spent pursuing a range of styles, Salmon re-formed Scientists on the heels of a career-spanning Numero Group box set. The band picked up where they left off, and after a few singles and an EP, delivered a vigorous comeback LP with 2021's Negativity.
