  • Misfits of Science were a New Zealand hip-hop group that formed in 2000. The group consisted of South African born Yudhi Moodley - Ruckus Garvey and Kiwi native Stephen McQuinn. After meeting at a clothing store in 2000, they spent the next few years crafting their production and writing skills, and would eventually form Misfits of Science. Shortly after the completion of their demo tape and being awarded a recording grant by NZ On Air in 2002 for their initial single - Fools Love, Moodley and McQuinn signed to indie record label Hoof with a distribution deal under Sony BMG. The video for Fools Love was released on music channel C4 in April 2004, and became one of the most successful charting NZ singles ever, spending four consecutive weeks at #1, 18 weeks in the top 10, and 32 weeks in total in the top 40, going multi platinum in the process. Their debut album MOS Presents was released in November 2004, achieving gold status. The Can't Leave You Alone EP would be the last material released under Hoof due to an irreconcilable breach of contract by the label. Funny Money and The Hype were their last ever recorded tracks.
