1.- Douglas had a knack for writing songs with hooks that could land whales whilst retaining a hardcore sentiment coupled with energy and emotion. Live performances were a frenetic mass of raw energy, chaos and positive belief in what they did, leading to slots on the Warped Tour and supporting Lostprophets on their 2003 UK tour. After their most successful headline tour to date, changing personal priorities lead to Douglas splitting up. Jamie from the band recently joined Boom In The Diamond Industry. They recently reformed for a one-off performance supporting thisGIRL at their last ever gig in Cardiff in January 2007.

2.- Chilean pop singer Douglas started getting involved in music at the age of 18, having the opportunity to get into show business in 1993 by participating in a music contest called Generaciуn 93 at local TV show Venga Conmigo. After signing up to Sony Music, his debut album, called Cariño Malo, was released, followed by Sigo Romantico, issued in April of 1999. The year after, Douglas was invited to perform at Viña del Mar's Festival in recognition to his talent and growing popularity. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

3. Douglas is a Pittsburgh, PA rock n' roll band currently revamping their style and sound. The band's line-up seems to be forever in flux, but current members include Jeff Bets, the brains behind the band as well as the lyricist, guitarist, and back-up vocals, Melissa Beall, lead vocals, and Chris Fazio, lead guitar, bass.
They have released one album, Yankee Bluegrass. "YANKEE BLUEGRASS showcases a sort of innocent gameness to try anything -- swingin' horns, three-chord rock, acoustic ballads, surfy guitar solos, even a little twang -- that's oddly affecting" “A free-and-easy romp through alt country and playful pop, punctuated by Jeff Bets’ old-timey harmonica... The music’s summery vibe should sound perfect right about this time of year”.

Kickback
Douglas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You seem stuck here just keep going around, what goes around always comes around,
You're always standing in the way.
Everyones needing everyone like everybodies needing everybody else you need someone sometimes.
Lets not talk about these things that bring us down,
Keep them for another day you know it hurts to have it out,
Lets not think about where we will be tomorrow,
Sometimes things can get on top of everyone,
Take it in your stride i know you're under thoughts that weigh a ton.
Lets not think about where we will be tomorrow,
It doesn't matter because today is for today i think i'm right.
It goes so slowly, keeping on with a thumping head,
Approach each action as if it was your last, as if it was your last,
Don't move so fast.
Everything will be alright.
