A conversation with Weird Science

A conversation with Weird Science

In retrospect, 10 a.m. may have been too early to ask these down and dirty punk rockers, born and bred in Athens, to come in and record some songs. With a 6-pack of Jackie O’s Mystic Mama in one hand and equipment in the other, Weird Science rocked out some quick tunes with heavy subjects, despite some members being stumblingly inebriated at times. In true punk fashion they came in to play two songs for The Post Athens Sessions video series, which looks to highlight local talent in this vibrant music scene. As I walked into the room to begin the question and answer portion of the recording, they were knee deep in a discussion of capitalism and how the poor are exploited in America. It may not have been the most graceful performance, but it was real and honest; that’s all we can ask for from these Athens veterans.
