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”.

Twenty Year Itch
Douglas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't think now, overload on what the fuck is going on,
I'm itching, must have been something i was sitting on, must be something going on.
And i don't want this, i always needed something else,
My plans are bigger than myself,
And i don't need this, i always wanted something else,
My plans are bigger than myself.
Play are you sitting on the shelf can we reach further than the front door,
Gotta move, gotta stay , gotta leave , gotta waste away with the rest,
Don't talk to me because my stomach knots at the thought of everything that i could be.
Good bye.
The lyrics of Douglas's song "Twenty Year Itch" portray the restlessness and dissonance felt when one feels stuck in their current situation. The opening lines signal a racing mind that has trouble settling down, constantly mulling over past thoughts and dealing with present confusion. The repeated phrase "Can't think now" suggests the overwhelming feeling of being stuck in a loop or cycle, unable to break free or think beyond the present moment. The line "I'm itching" describes the nagging feeling of wanting something more, something beyond what is currently available. The idea that there must be "something going on" adds to the sense of uncertainty and unease.
The chorus of the song indicates a sense of bigger plans and restlessness, dreaming of something more than what is currently being experienced. However, despite this aspiration, the singer feels stuck and unable to move forward. The repetition of "my plans are bigger than myself" highlights the ambition and drive to achieve more, even while feeling trapped.
The final line "Goodbye" is almost abrupt, emphasizing a sense of finality and moving on from the current situation. The song portrays the restlessness and internal conflict of feeling limited in one's present situation, while also harboring the desire to move forward toward a bigger dream.
