Ceremony来自美国弗吉尼亚州弗雷特里克斯,组建于2007年的后朋克/自赏乐队Ceremony深受Joy Division的影响。他们将噪音流行与自赏完美地融合在了一起,混合冲击力极强的失真吉他与低保真电子鼓,镇定自若的人声,极富有Factory Records唱片风格。
Ceremony的两名成员来自Skywave,这是一支组建于90年代中期的盯鞋乐团。自从贝斯手Oliver Ackermann离开弗吉尼亚前往纽约并组建了 A Place to Bury Strangers之后,剩下的两位成员组建了Ceremony并发行了几张反响不错的专辑。
love songs - that's what Ceremony are famous for.
Well known for its outstanding mixture of aggressive, rock and shoe-gaze the band keeps the spirit of the legendary band skywave (John Fedowitz, Oliver Ackermann, Paul Baker) going.
Ceremony was formed in 2004. Since then the band toured the East Coast/USA several times and played two week in Tokyo/Japan. Moreover Ceremony played some very successful shows in Germany, Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands and France.
Ceremony is always mentioned in the same sentence with other well known bands like Screen Vinyl Image, A Place To Bury Strangers and The Misfits. But only Ceremony has that irresistible sound reminding of 60's girl groups, 80's pop and 90's shoe-gaze. Fans all over the world love Ceremony for outlining profound feelings we've all experienced in their catchy melodies. It's about love!
