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 from the 60s-90s.
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.

"Social Contractor" lyrics:

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 |
