For most of his life, music was kept strictly behind closed doors for Tom Lanyon. These days, it's his life. As the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and chief lyricist of Melbourne upstarts Ceres, Lanyon has found a home on stage with three of his best mates; resulting in packed-out shows both as headliners in their native city and in support of artists like Violent Soho, The Hotelier and Against Me!. This was recorded last December at Black Wire Records, while the band were touring as national support for The Hotelier. We talk fadeouts, fading into music in your 20s and chancing upon bandmates.

Ceres' second album, Drag It Down On You, is set for release on September 2nd.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
