History
Early history and first releases
Something with Numbers formed in 2001, coming out of the Central Coast punk scene in New South Wales, Australia. The band soon signed to small indie label, Below Par Records, and worked towards releasing their first EP, The Barnicles & Stripes, in 2002. Two years later, in 2004, Something with Numbers released their debut album, Etiquette.
Perfect Distraction
The band continued to grow their sound and in 2006 they made their commercial break through, with the release of their second studio album Perfect Distraction in October of that year. The album featured a range of styles and genres, touching on soul rock and their usual punk rock sound. It featured three songs that were released as singles, the first - and most popular - being, "Apple of the Eye (Lay Me Down)". "Apple of the Eye" peaked at #34 on the ARIA singles charts, and placed #64 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2006.[1] The second single from the album was "Chase the Chaser", it failed to reach the ARIA chart, but did receive airplay on Australian music network, Channel V. Something with Numbers played at the Sydney Big Day Out on January 25, 2007. Channel V described the show of having the best mosh of the day. Other notable concert appearances for the band have been along side Good Charlotte, Millencolin, The Ataris, and Panic at the Disco.
The band is currently working on a third album, "Engineering the Soul", due for release on September 6, having just returned from recording the album in New York.[2] The first single will be called "Stay With Me Bright Eyes".[3]
