Hysterics touring, playing 2 NYC shows, one w/ Exit Order

Hysterics

Olympia’s Hysterics have been circulating the blogosphere for some time now, and for good reason. Their most recent EP, Can’t I Live?, is an excellent six-track collection that evokes the best moments of early hardcore but doesn’t feel regressive. My personal favorite song on it might be the closing track, “No Vision,” which has a similar sense of urgency (and similar guitar riffs) to Nervous Breakdown-era Black Flag, but actually sounds angrier.

I wrote the above about Olympia punks Hysterics when we highlighted them recently and mentioned they had TBA shows planned. Those shows have now been announced. The band will play a few dates in their home state this month, and then before a European tour they’ll hit NYC on May 2 at 538 Johnson with Exit Order (who just won us over at their show with Priests), New Crime and Sorrows; and May 3 at Death by Audio with Ajax (mems of Creem, Nuclear Spring) and God Mode (not to be confused with the record label).

All of their dates are listed, with a stream of the Can’t I Live? EP, below…
