Hello Everyone!

2007-11-30T15:45:00.000-08:00

Welcome to our new website! We finally got it up and running. This might be the first time in recent Socratic history we have a website up that is working properly, so three cheers for us!

First, we just got back from helping our friends Hellogoodbye wrap up the Myspace Tour with Say Anything. They said they just couldn't do it without us, so we had to drive across country to lend a helping rock-n-roll hand. (Yes, that's a joke). Those boys were nice enough to let us play in front of thousands of their fans, and we had an amazing time. To all of you who went to the shows, thank you so much for coming out to our merch table to meet us, and for taking pictures and hanging out, otherwise, we would have been incredibly bored and lonely. Also a special thank you goes out to Stefanie Reines for being a true leader of the gorilla POD (we in the band are always monkeying around especially Lou and Duane) and making magic happen.

Oh I can't believe I forgot...we came to the conclusion that our new record (Produced by Mark Hoppus) will be titled "Spread the Rumors," so get ready and start telling all your friends and family about us. We go over well in all demographics: mothers, grandmothers, white, black, asain, gay, and straight...they all love us, and of course we have a special place in our hearts for each and every one of them!

Anyway, if you have any questions, write us over on our myspace and we will try our best to respond quickly. Thank you so much for reading this!

Love,
Kevin/Socratic
