How
it
goes...
So,
yesterday
I
am
making
my
regular
rounds
of
music
news
and
I
read
a
blurb
about
Paul
Phillips
of
Operator
(and
former
Puddle
of
Mudd
guitarist)
working
on
a
side
project
with
Society
Red
out
of
Jacksonville,
Fl.
For
those
of
you
who
may
not
know,
Operator’s
vocalist
Johnny
Strong
has
been
filming
a
movie,
hence
the
downtime
right
now.
The
sign
of
a
true
musician
is
they
find
something
within
their
field,
whether
it
be
song
writing,
producing,
or
taking
up
a
side
project
when
on
their
off
time.
It’s
paramount
to
keep
learning
something
new
and
by
jamming
with
new
players,
something
fresh
comes
to
the
table,
keeps
the
creativity
flowing,
and
reminds
you
why
you
are
in
the
music
business
to
begin
with.

I gave them a spin on their MySpace Page, I like what I’m hearing. Refreshing rock, not stale or stagnant, not the same old stuff we are hearing on radio.
Love
and
Hate
-
Quick
and
aggressive.
Great
guitar
riffs,
vocals
are
tight,
sharp,
the
singer
definitely
has
the
pipes.
High
Life
-
Thumping
intro,
’serious
as
a
heart
attack,’
lyric
narrows
it
down,
this
band
is
all
business.
Chasing
The
Reason
-
Great
track,
it’s
one
of
those
songs
you
instantly
like
if
you
favor
middle-of-the-road
rock.
Reflective,
talking
to
oneself,
and
asking
the
question
are
we
here
for
ourselves
or
working
too
hard
to
please
others?
Vegas
-
An
observation
of
society,
fast
paced,
no
lulls,
never
boring,
solid.
So
Unhappy
Demo
-
While
the
song
title
may
lead
you
to
think
this
song
is
going
to
be
drudgery
and
sad,
it’s
more
about
getting
out
and
moving
on.
Put
the
headphones
on,
crank
it
up.
Loud
is
good.
Louder
is
better
:)
And
if
you
are
in
the
Jacksonville
area
next
weekend,
check
out
Society
Red
at
Jack
Rabbits.
If
my
daughter
still
lived
there,
I
think
I’d
be
making
a
road
trip
:)
