Thanks guys, for making me remember why I wanted to front my own rock band in the first place! Giving new meaning to the term "adult-oriented rock," Matt Zane, leader and shameless porn director for the enterprise known as both "Society One" and "Sexual Society," Inzane Records namesake will be one to watch. The new album entitled, "Slacker Jesus," message intended, combines backstage exploits with state of the art modern, electro-heavy rock. "Society One" exudes a true to life experience of backstage antics put to music, influenced by the likes of bands like Korn, while increasing the flood of intensity. A highly electric vibe sends tracks such as "Get My Back" and "Slacker Jesus" into a furiously convulsing frenzy. "Wretched" is among the best work here, although they should've stuck with more of the direction of its chorus and focused more on a heavy groove and less on the tenuous bass-lines that too many bands have adopted. How they landed a tour with Pro-pain I'll never know, but "Society One's" going to be one of those acts that'll be re-stirring the brew of controversy. In an industry that not since the exploits of Marilyn Manson will the finger pointers achieve such satisfaction.
