Smother Magazine Band Spotlight: Socratic
Socratic
With biting lyrics and a terrific grasp on melody, Socratic is a band that's not afraid to make fun of screamo bands and do it with aggressive indie pop hooks that will have the emo kids clutching their tattered sweaters even tighter.

The band continously showcases their talent and excellent dynamics promising to be one of the best up-and-coming bands in indie rock.
