Ummm....sorry for being an idiot, I had no idea the text would all run together. Can someone tell me how to list the items in the discography and members section? - tom —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Oldy (talkcontribs) .

[edit] Why?

Why are people calling this band emo? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.176.107.150 (talkcontribs) .

Aren't they? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.175.227.66 (talk • contribs) . why are they calling this band emo, BECAUSE THEY ARE!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.158.219.154 (talk • contribs).

They are not Emo and they are not Rock either - they are piano rock. They call themselves Piano rock and their music is Piano driven and uses other instruments like Guitar bass and drums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.65.47 (talk) 15:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

How can u say they are not rock? hello, piano rock. i think i see the word rock there, even if it is piano driven. And i think its credible to say tey are emo. if u look at the lyrics from North, it talks about hes probly gonna scew up his life and it references to Jimmy Eat World, which are pretty much emo —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iandrummer204 (talkcontribs) 01:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

not emo, let's get that removed as musically it doesn't make sense.--24.245.39.96 (talk) 07:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to reintroduce this discussion. The above comments offer no reason why this band isn't emo. If one objectively looks at both this encyclopedia's definition of the genre [[1]] along with the band's tone, lyrics, and "feel," it seems clear it is emo. Moreover, while there is a piano base to the music, I don't think it's at all reasonably fair to place this band in the same category as say Ben Folds Five or even Fiona Apple.

I'm sorry, they're just not emo. They have some emo influences I guess you could say, but it is easy to describe them as piano rock which is what they are. A rock band using a piano, hence the name piano rock. Plus, many of their greatest influences were Billy Joel, etc. backing up the notion they are definitely piano rock. Further more, emo is a clearly defined subset of hardcore punk ("emotional hardcore") and SoCo is not hardcore punk, they are more of the pop-punk subset.--HistoryFan22 (talk) 05:52, Thursday June 5, 2008 (UTC —Preceding comment was added at 06:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Former members

William Tell? I don't know whether this is true or a joke. In any case I have removed the link as I don't believe that the legendary Tell played for SoCo! TDE 20:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

No, that's correct. Their former guitarist is indeed called William Tell. The link however was incorrect... --HarryCane 16:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OAR?

Something Corporate isn't touring with OAR this summer. Jack's Mannequin, however, is. Should the info re: OAR/summer tour be removed from here as it comes off as slightly misleading? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.112.171.251 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Discography

What about the NapsterLive Acoustic EP? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.13.186.2 (talk • contribs) .

Well, it's just a live recording of a single song (I wouldn't consider it an EP). I find it rather unnotable... --HarryCane 11:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
