"If you buy this record and DON'T end up liking every single second of musical genius contained on it with every single fiber of your very being, I personally guarantee you that you have no taste in music." - Mark Hoppus


"Lunch For The Sky"

"Every instrument is its own commanding presence yet they are all able to work in perfect harmony with eachother. Sheer musical brillance, strong vocals and lyrics that an award, leads me to believe that the guys in Socratic have the ability to not only make it in this music world, but make it big. I know I'm making a bold statement here, but Lunch For The Sky is without a doubt the best cd released in my lifetime, and possibly ever. Redeem themselves? Drive Thru records not only redeems their record label with this release, but sets a new standard of excellence. With the powerful, catchy, indie-pop-piano-rock that is just on a level all it's own, Socratic will make a name for themselves that can't be denied. If you don't like this album then I'd ask that you please stop reading my reviews, good taste is wasted on you." - ForTheSound.com


"Golden Ticket"

"For those eyeing a pop-rock getaway that's a bit more daring and exotic, Socratic just may be the golden ticket." - Alternative Press

Bio

In 2004 Socratic signed to Drive-Thru Records, who put out their first full-length, Lunch for the Sky, in 2005. The album was produced by John Goodmanson (Owl City) at Longview Farms Studio in rural Western Massachusetts. On December 5th, 2006, a free 5-track EP entitled Just Turn was made available for download from the band's Myspace and PureVolume profiles. Their next full length album entitled Spread The Rumors (produced by Mark Hoppus of Blink182) hit the shelves on May 6, 2008, featuring the song "Boy In A Magazine," their first single. They also made a video for "May I Bum and Smoke" and "Boy In A Magazine" in 2008.

Socratic has been fortunate enough to travel to Japan and Australia (Soundwaves Festival) as well as all across the United States and has shared the stage with acts ranging from Incubus, Hellogoodbye, Say Anything, MeWithoutYou, Brand New, Gin Blossoms, Pete Yorn, and even the Telletubies.

Socratic is currently writing for the upcoming record - no release date has been decided yet. Socratic is looking for new management, record label, and touring agent.
