'Beat Scientific was a Hip Hop side project formed by Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw, Head Automatica) and Brian Lane (Brand New, The Rookie Lot) that existed from 2000-2001. Brian Lane would produce hip hop beats, and Daryl would sing over them. The first song to appear from their side track was "Midwestern Stylings" and was officially released via Fadeaway Records on their "The Best Comp in the World" compilation CD. The album credits labeled it as a Glassjaw remix, though it was really Beat Scientific. An acoustic version also appeared on a sampler CD from Fadeaway Records; limited to 2000 copies. Glassjaw later recorded the song on a few demo sessions while working on Worship & Tribute. It didn't make the album. The debut album, Students of the Drums was set to be released in January of 2001,
