"...doublethink is everything that rock music lacks today."
"...doublethink is "rock 'n roll" for this generation without destroying the legendary past." - The Connecticut Post
"...one of the best bands Connecticut has to offer... doublethink impresses the hard-to-please... scott brown makes a riveting frontman, blessed with a natural charisma that makes it hard to take your eyes off of him." - The Hartford Advocate
"...While the band’s insistence on doing things their own way and not following the latest trends may make it harder to win over some of the more fickle fans in the short run, it definitely sets them up for a longer shelf life than some of their contemporaries who have jumped on the emo or pop-punk bandwagon."
"...fearlessly swing back and forth between hard rock and gentle ballads."
- The Jersey Beat
"Full of thick melodic layers wrapped around a few empty calories for your sweet tooth, Seeing Red is the one to watch out for this Spring! Very, Very Highly Recommended!!!"
- Away Team
"These are big beautiful hard-htting rock songs that deserve to be heard. Listen up, America."

"If frustrations were explosive, consider doublethink nitroglycerin in a jar.." - Fish Altieri, Bronx Time Reporter
“These guys have what it takes to make it big: they have a solid sound that the modern rock/alt-rock crowd would like, while still having radio appeal; they put on an energetic live show; and when I saw them live, people were really into them. I'm sure that this will not be the last you'll hear from them. - Bullet Proof

Bio
"If frustrations were explosive, consider Doublethink nitroglycerin in a jar." --The Bronx Time Reporter
dou-ble-think (n.):
-Thought marked by the acceptance of gross contradictions and falsehoods, especially when used as a technique of self-indoctrination: "Doublethink... is a vast system of mental cheating" (George Orwell).
-believing two contradictory ideas at the same time
Frustrated with society, religion, and the human condition, doublethink takes the opposites: loud and quiet, fast and slow, positive and negative, and brings them all together into their music and their lives. The bands aggression evolves with each harsh New England winter.. and overflows with an intense and uncompromising sound.
doublethink is most well known for their live performances, which have been honed over the past few years to near perfection and bring an intense and unforgettable rock concert experience.
In 2010, several doublethink songs have been featured on MTV's "Real World / Road Rules Challenge" and "Fresh Meat II".
