"Far from derivative - just part of a proud tradition."
Unashamed localness can sometimes be lost when indie-rock bands put tracks to tape, but Ceres' rawness is infectious.
Ceres hark back to great '90s Oz guitar darlings like Jebediah, but still find their own place. Happy In Your Head is a perfect example, cheeky lyrics delivered with an ocker drawl and driving guitar - old school. Great lines like, "I can hear you spitting in the shower/I can hear you pissing in the gutter," from '91 Your House could be from lost tracks in the You Am I vaults, while the space in Choke lends itself a little to Paul Dempsey. Far from derivative - just part of a proud tradition.
