   About Socrates Johnson
MySpace tweaks and layouts at MusicTweak.

'Socrates Johnson are a dual - guitar acoustic blues rock act who turn many heads.'

'Their sound to me was a bit of rock n roll with a blusey twist (you could say a cross between Tom petty and Neil Young).'

'Socrates are able to offer something a little fresher on the current underground scence and are definitely worth a look.'
'They strummed and harmonised like West Coast veterans'

'If you closed your eyes it could be Big Pink in '68.'

Jamie Mallender is the bass player for former Black Sabbath vocalist, Tony 
Martin.  He has just released a solo album to excellent reviews. CD Baby 
describe the album as, "A bass guitar oriented fusion, crossover, progressive 
instrumental album featuring a mishmash of genres, time changes and mood 
swings with a loose Sci-Fi B-Movie feel - more musical journey than virtuoso 
showcase, nevertheless displaying impressive chops."
