Remember when the radio actually mattered? Listeners were proud to sit through some Mariah Carey or a few car commercials if it meant just one more spin of Third Eye Blind’s “Semi-Charmed Life.” Well, Socratic’s Spread the Rumors is a lot like that. Unfortunately, even Socratic have their car commercial moments, but it’s usually worth the wait for the next little gem around the corner.

Mark Hoppus of +44 has re-launched his podcast.

Mark Hoppus is producing the latest Socratic record, and he will be keeping everyone updated via his blog.

Socratic are currently preparing their next record; the follow up to 2005’s Lunch For The Sky. The group has enlisted the one and only Mark Hoppus to produce their upcoming full-length album. The New Jersey based quintet will begin recording sometime next month.
