Founded by Jason E. Davies on the heels of the pandemic, The Social Contractors offer an upbeat blend of melodic original rock and classic covers.
Jason’s tightly crafted tunes feature improvised solos with pointed lyrics that span edgy political and environmental themes to tales of unrequited love and introspection – all with an ultimately optimistic perspective on the possible. In addition to Jason on guitar and vocals, The Social Contractors include Rob Neidel on bass and vocals, Travis Thayer on keyboard and saxophone, and Chris Oatman on drums. Other members include Dan Ellecamp and Nick Schneider on drums, and Alex Fabian-Davies on bass.

"Social Contractor" lyrics:
I shook the hand of a social contractor Perpetuating a pandemic disaster It's on my hand, it's in your hair Just don't breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to show that you care Lock yourself away and I'll see you online Sanitize your screen, I've already wiped mine You coughed in my face like I wasn't there Will I make it long enough to get medicare? Serial liar, hand sanitizer Stuck at the border, complying with order Is the planet's solution to civilization... A massive extinction from socialization? Serial liars, hand sanitizers Stuck at the borders, complying with orders They tell me to enter Check in at the center Touch your hand to the screen But keep your face clean d |
