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 Chart, and placed #64 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2006. The second single from the album was "Chase the Chaser", which failed to reach the ARIA Singles Chart; however, it 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 as having the "best mosh of the day". Other notable concert appearances for the band have been along side Lagwagon, Good Charlotte, Millencolin, The Ataris, and Panic at the Disco.

"Engineering the Soul"

The band recently released their third album, "Engineering the Soul", on September 6, 2008. They have returned from recording the album over nine weeks in March/April, at Mission Sound Studios, Brooklyn, New York, in the United States. The album was produced by Tim O’Heir, who's "respected" for collaborations with bands such as Dinosaur Jr., The All-American Rejects and Say Anything. The first single off the new album was "Stay With Me Bright Eyes",cite web|url=http://www.accessallareas.net.au/music_news/EkEkpulEVkWVgSEiXa.php|title=Something With Numbers Announce new album and an east coast tour!|publisher=Access All Areas.net.au|accessdate=2008-05-30] it had a music video created. A second music video is planned, with the band advertising the filming to get extras for the video.

Early releases of the CD came with a bonus DVD, containing all of the band's music videos to date, the making of "Stay with Me Bright Eyes", and the making of "Engineering the Soul", which includes live footage from their first show after returning to Australia at the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney.

On September 14, 2008, "Engineering the Soul" debuted at number 20 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
