Hey guys,

First of all I wanted to take this time to thank everyone who has come out to our past shows and events. Each and every show has been special and without the support of you we wouldn't, well, feel very good about ourselves. So our hats are off to all of you!

If you haven't heard already we are playing this year's MUSICFEST in Clark, NJ. Check out the facebook event page -http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=149735939858 and RSVP if you're in the area and would like to attend the free, all weekend extravaganza! Acts of all kinds are playing including the Gin Blossoms, Third Eye Blind, and Pete Yorn. We're also doing a show with Bayside on October 10th in Jermyn, Pennsylvania. Sure to be a great time for all.

Other than that we've just completed a few new recordings which we're extremely excited about and anxious to show all of you. Unfortunately we do not know when that be. Hopefully soon!

As always, follow us on twitter! Haha..

Aug 5th Stone Pony - This show should be pretty cool. It's a benefit for the local homeless and hungry. Bring a can of food! There will be prices, DJs, and kick ass bands! Come see us down the shore while summer's still popin'!

We in Socratic are  proud to announce our first tour of the summer. The Major / Minor tour with our good friends Punchline! Our history with these guys has gone back a long time. We are really looking forward to this one. We would like to offer an opportunity to all local bands who are interested in submitting themselves play our show date in their hometown. Here are some cities we are taking submissions for:
Toledo, Hazel Park MI (Detroit), Chicago, Cleveland, Lemoyne, Virginia Beach, Baltimore, Williamsport, NYC, Long Island, Connecticut, Boston, Providence, Allentown, Erie, and Charleroi Pennsylvania.

Obviously submitting doesn't  guarantee a spot on the gig. But we will heavily consider and push promoters for the most excited interesting bands we can find. If you are interested please email Kgbryan2@aol.com with Subject: Major/ Minor Tour. Please only serious submissions by band members or their management.
Select cities will also have Denny's Allnighter after parties :-) Our Edge TV performance will air in May on CBS so keep an eye out and see you this summer!

Get pumped!

Hey Guys,

So this Wednesday April 1st we are taping for EDGE TV and Denny's Allnighter at Starland Ballroom. Unfortunately it's a closed set so not everyone can come hang out for the filming of the performance - BUT we SOCRATIC and our friends in You Me & Everyone We Know, and Houston Calls are hosting an after party at a near by Denny's and we hope if you can make it come hang out with us!

WHO'S IN??????

Also April 4th is the annual Penn State Movin' On Festival. If you're in the area come check it out. Other bands we'll be playing with are Person L, The Spill Canvas, and more to be announced soon!

The show is taking place in the Scrounge, which is inside the
Perkins Student Center (325 Academy Street, Newark). The scheduled start time is
8pm and we're expected to go on around 8:45PM.  The show is free
and open to the public, all ages so hopefully the turn out will be good
=)
Hope to see you guys there!

Prepare yourself for wild times and big surprises!


We're going to play some brand new songs!

Do whatever you gotta do but be there January 3rd at Maxwells and make it one for the history books!
