Ceremony - Zoo (2012)

Ceremony did it again. It all started brewing with Rohnert Park. Not as hardcore as their previous work and with a lot of new ideas and things to try made that album a great effort to start changing the band's sound without erasing the band's roots and keeping it hardcore punk. So Zoo is some kind of natural follow-up to that change. This time, Ceremony sounds even further from their previous work but nobody can say that they have stepped aside from hardcore punk. There's a lot of influences in this record, and it rides through punk, garage, indie and surf landscapes naturally. It works for me, let's hope it does for you.

01. Hysteria
02. Citizen
03. Repeating the Circle
04. World Blue
05. Quarantine
06. Brace Yourself
07. Adult
08. Hotel
09. Ordinary People
10. Nosebleed

Slight Similarities With: Hard to say... some garage punk, some indie rock, maybe you'll love it if you liked Fucked Up's sound progression.

Summer Vacation - Condition (2011)

Don't let this horrible album cover fool you, this is great stuff. Something flowing smoothly between genres like punk, indie, pop, emo and post-hardcore but always keeping it genuine and bouncy. Southern California must be proud of these guys.
