1. Backstory:
Founded in the vibrant underground scene of Austin, Texas, in 2013, Scientific Steam has been making waves in the indie music community ever since. Composed of four dedicated musicians — lead vocalist and keyboardist, Adrian “Doc” Harper, guitarist and backup vocalist, Lucas “Sprocket” O’Brien, bassist, Elliot “Piston” Carter, and drummer, Hannah “Gauge” Whitman — the band was initially formed as a side project during their college years. However, their unique blend of music soon started gaining recognition and a loyal fan base which prompted them to take their passion for music into a professional realm.
Their first major breakthrough came two years later in 2015, after the release of their debut album, “Geared Up”. The album was a mix of conceptual narratives, blending their love for science fiction and the Victorian-era steam-powered machinery with an indie rock sound. Their compelling instrumentation and lyrical storytelling soon captured the attention of critics, ultimately catapulting them to local fame.

4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In the heart of the brass and gears, beneath the pulsating steam,
I found a love so profound, so real, caught in a time machine.
With a touch of cosmic dust, and a scent of ether’s dream,
She’s my quantum love machine, in a world unseen.
(Chorus)
She’s my quantum love machine,
Riding the waves of time unseen.
In the realm of the cosmic sphere,
Our hearts interlock, without fear.
(Verse 2)
Beneath her metallic skin, lies a heart that beats in rhythm.
A rhythm that echoes through space, a tune beyond any prism.
Her eyes, two orbs of stardust, reflecting a cosmic scheme,
She’s my quantum love machine, in a world unseen.
(Chorus)
She’s my quantum love machine,
In the echo of stardust she’s serene.
In the realm of the cosmic sphere,
Our love transcends, far and near.
(Bridge)
Through wormholes and galaxies, we dance,
In the cosmos, we find our romance.
She’s more than gears and steam,
She’s my quantum love, my dream.
(Chorus)
She’s my quantum love machine,
In the fabric of time, we convene.
In the realm of the cosmic sphere,
We found a love, so clear.
