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”.

R For Reality
Douglas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I heart Bogart
And I don't know why
But I heart Bogart
Sometimes I'd
like to ask a cop
If he could do
Right into a butcher shop
And get turned into a fat pork chop
We're so indie
Were searching for jobs,
And I don't know why
But I heart Bogart
And tampons that
Insert themselves
'Cause you don't want
To ask no one for help
And I wandered
Then I wondered
Why I wandered at all
Thoughtless conversations
What are friends for?
Then I wandered,
While I wondered
Then I wandered In awe
Thoughtless conversations
What are friends for?
Sometimes I'd
Like to ask a cop
If he could do
A Piggly Wiggly walk
Right into a butcher shop
And get turned into a fat pork chop
We're so indie
Were searching for jobs
And I don't know why
But I heart Bogart
We're so indie
Were searching for jobs
And I don't know why
But I heart Bogart
What are friends for?
The lyrics to Douglas's song "R For Reality" are open to interpretation, but there appears to be an underlying theme of searching for meaning and purpose in life. The repeated phrase "I heart Bogart" seems to represent a longing for something or someone to admire and aspire to be like, yet the singer cannot explain why they feel this way. The line "Sometimes I'd like to ask a cop if he could do a Piggly Wiggly walk" suggests a desire for humor and absurdity in everyday life, while also hinting at a potential desire for chaos or rebellion.
The verse about tampons that insert themselves could be interpreted as a desire for self-sufficiency and independence, as well as a commentary on the societal taboo surrounding female hygiene products. The singer then reflects on wandering and wondering, perhaps about their own purpose and direction in life. The repeated question "What are friends for?" could be a genuine inquiry or a sarcastic remark on the perceived superficiality of social relationships.
Overall, the lyrics to "R For Reality" offer a glimpse into the confusion and uncertainty that can come with navigating adulthood and the search for a meaningful existence.
