We Are Scientists Perform Acoustic Rendition of Lethal Enforcer

We Are Scientists British rock magazine NME released a bunch of exclusive one-on-one band videos earlier this week. An acoustic version of “Lethal Enforcer” by We Are Scientists is one of these must-see videos. Keith and Chris from the band shot this inside of NME’s own studio in London.

Street Artist 'The Decapitator' Strikes London Once Again

For the past 6 months, a rogue street artist nicknamed “The Decapitator” has been assaulting the streets of London with his unique brand of tag - mutating popular advertisements into headless corpses.
