“One of the most exhilarating and uncompromising bands in hardcore punk today” – Big Cheese

Ceremony are a punk band from Rohnert Park, California, just outside of San Francisco. Their first three albums are widely seen as the most compelling, unusual and progressive hardcore of the last five years.

For their Matador debut ‘Zoo’, Ceremony have worked with John Goodmanson (Blood Brothers, Girls, Sleater-Kinney, Weezer) to refine their jagged sounds while continuing to pursue themes of suburban alienation and confinement.

The music of ‘Zoo’ explores punk and post-punk traditions: the rhythm section remains as tense and propulsive as ever, while guitarist Anthony Anzaldo moves with ease from ringing power chords to stealthy leads reminiscent of Gang Of Four and The Cramps. Ross Farrar’s future primitive vocals sometimes recall ‘Pink Flag’ or ‘Metal Box’, ranging from a melodic howl to a muttered incantation.

The band rate this album as their “first fully comprehensive sounding record”, with the results both gripping and indelible.

LP format comes with a free poster.
