NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE:
"Articles of War", the devastating new rock 'n roll album by The Sermon, is now available for download!

Produced by Marco Martin (Morrissey, Tony Visconti) and featuring guest appearances by Penelope Houston (The Avengers) and Kelley Stoltz (SubPop Records), the tracks capture the explosive, powerful, high-energy dynamics that have become the band's trademark. Purchase it right now directly through Snocap.

"A Choice of Weapons", the lead-off track from The Sermon’s new album, was recently featured in a Levi’s television commercial that aired across the United States and Puerto Rico. The :30 “Levi’s Black” spot—a tie-in with BMX favorite Morgan Wade—was part of Levi's “Choose Color” campaign and ran for 6 months on NBC, MTV, ESPN, Spike, Fuse and Fuel.
