Head over to Matador to hear/download "Hysteria".

Not sure how I feel about this new song... it doesn’t sound like Ceremony—too soft and certainly not punk/hardcore enough for my liking. Oh well, for now, please enjoy "Kersed" and "You're All the Same", two of the greatest songs ever! They are both off of Violence Violence.

...and "Kersed" live!
