So, when I find out that a band is touring and then I see one of their stops will be in Delaware I instantly find that my lips are pursed, my eyebrows are raised and I'm looking quite ridiculous. I'm a fan of Delaware, been living here 26 years after all...but we don't get many performers.

Socratic is from New Jersey and hopefully you have heard of them and enjoy their music. I do, but I will also admit it was only recently that I started listening to their music. I'm impressed. I can't say it's very unique, I mean the trend right now is to have that Alternative/Pop sound, right? Right. So I'd say their sound is comparable to "The Academy Is..." and even though that might make it less unique, it certainly doesn't make it less appealing. They sound geat!

They are a four member band Duane, Kevin, Vincent and Thomas. All but the last share in on the vocals. Vincent is my favorite, no offense to the rest of the guys, but he is the one on the piano. And I'm a sucker for those keys. In addition, I love the Illustration and Flash elements on their website.

The BRING ME UP Socratic favorite is "The Spanish Singer"

On April 13th they will be in Wilmington, Delaware playing at The Harmony Grange.
You can buy their first release from 2005 and their new EP at WestAspenMerch.com.
