Happiness is a science, a disconnect from reality... all the signs lead to nowhere...

From pub-going eccentrics to creative dynamites, Happy Science are the band you can’t live without. The North London based collective claim to be an “alternative to alternative rock music” and their fuzz filled, modern pop offerings more than live up to that claim.

Happy Science are not a band in any traditional sense of the word. A collective of producers, mix engineers and multi-instrumentalist songwriters; Happy Science are a melting pot of creative innovation.

A diverse range of influences, from political change to art, culture, protest, film noir and more; Happy Science are a modern day musical equivalent to the films of Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock. You can hear the raw voice of working class North London estates clash with fuzzed drenched guitars and pop sensibilities. Musically, the band has cited Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground, Can, NEU! Kraftwork, Blondie, The Last Poets and Pixies as key inspirations.
