The band consists of guitarist/vocalist Sam Mickens, Jherek Bischoff on bass and Nick Tamburro on drums.
Tamburro, who'd shared drumming duties with him on the recording of Frost Giant and had previously acted as The Dead Science's touring drummer, joined permanently upon his departure.
Mickens has also cited Prince as an influence on his vocal style, often noted in reviews of the bands' work for its use of falsetto.
[1] The trio self-released their limited run debut EP Galactose under their original moniker, The Sweet Science, before giving up the name due to a cease-and-desist order from another band.
[2] Following the name change, The Dead Science released their debut album Submariner on Absolutely Kosher Records in 2003.
