2.  Ceremony - "Adult" (Continuing and expanding on the more mature sound of Rohnert Park, the Cali-based punk band's debut for Matador Records, Zoo was released this week.   The stellar new album features longer songs, a positive, optimistic lyrical stance and an experimental sound that trades in the abrasive hardcore for a more classic punk sound, that is sure to shape the punk to come...) http://www.ceremonyhc.com/
