The Sermon is an explosive, high-energy rock and roll band, known throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for a devastating live show. Harnessing equal parts menace and soul, The Sermon sound has been described as a “head-on collision of over-amped R&B and fuzz-fueled garage punk”. The Sermon released their debut lp/cd, Volumee, on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label in the fall of 2004. Over the years they have shared the stage with such bands as Mudhoney, The Dirtbombs, The Avengers, Rocket from the Tombs, Dead Moon, Comets on Fire, The Kills, Von Bondies and The Black Lips, to name a few. The Sermon have recently recorded a second album, Articles of War, with producer/engineer Marco Martin (Morissey, Tony Visconti), which features guest appearances by Penelope Houston (The Avengers) and Kelley Stoltz (Sub Pop).
