After Physics dissolved in 2000, Jason Soares and Jeff Coad went on to form the more electronic-based Aspects Of Physics also with Matt Lorenz.Will and John Goff went on to form the electronic band SSI.Rob Crow started Pinback (co-led by Zach Smith from Three Mile Pilot) and Ryan Jencks continued playing with Crash Worship. In 2015 coinciding with the release of the documentary "It's Gonna Blow!!!
