live from new york, it's sunday afternoon!

while this is a re-post of the Hysterics tracks that have been on this site before, MTV is airing a follow-up piece this monday and tuesday starting at 7pm, so I wanted to provide some backstory for our new readers.

the full tale of how all this came to be can be read on the original post from January, and the complete You Hear It First piece can be read on MTV's website, featuring some additional bits of the interview that didn't make it into the TV spot. now onto what you're probably looking for: music and live dates!

[MP3] The Hysterics - Mostly Untitled

[MP3] The Hysterics - Uptight Staircase

the first song, Mostly Untitled, was originally a solo piece by Oliver, but this version has been re-recorded with the band. the second song is the track featured in the MTV spot.

and New Yorkers, take note! the Hysterics will be playing an all ages show at Crash Mansion (199 Bowery in Manhattan) on Sunday March 20th. doors are at 4pm, and the other bands performing are the Downtown Blues Hangover and The Breaks. the Hysterics go on at 7pm, 10$ door.

Comments

They sounds so great. Like a young twangy Beatles. Fantastic harmonics and over-all feeling. Keep makeing that music that sounds like heaven!

Posted by: melissa at March 8, 2005 11:55 AM

Awesome band. And i dont normally like this kind of music, but i think you guys have some serious talent.

Posted by: kristi at March 8, 2005 11:56 AM

Posted by: Lynzi at March 8, 2005 11:57 AM

I never watch MTV but I was flipping through the channels and stopped when I heard them. Absolutely amazing. Pavement meets the Beatles. Deffinately.

Posted by: Elle at March 8, 2005 11:58 AM

Posted by: Mary Pangikas at March 8, 2005 12:00 PM

Posted by: colleen at March 8, 2005 12:09 PM

You guys are awesome I just heard you on MTV as well as a million other people. Whoever would pass signing you are crazy. I am a year younger than your lead singer and I am into the same music as you are apparantley, anyways, your rise to fame has just begun! Hit up Florida when you get a chance.

Posted by: Alexis at March 8, 2005 12:14 PM

Just saw you guys on MTV. I love your songs!! It's a great adaptation of a Beatles sound into our generation. Keep playing and please post more songs on this site.

Posted by: Morgan at March 8, 2005 12:23 PM

Hey, I saw you guys on MTV. By the way, I love your music. I'm 15 and also think that Charlie is cute. I would love to talk and find out about you guys. I mean what was your inspiration? You really seem to love playing and I admire that. Well, if you, band-members of The Hysterics, want to contact me my email is Spongealltheway@yahoo.com. I would really like to hear more about your band.

Posted by: Asia at March 8, 2005 12:24 PM

I use a mac and I can't listen to you guy's on your cornerband website or MTV.com and there's like only 2 links on here that I can listen to. I like you guy's alot but you should consider opening up a Myspace.com music account because not only would that promote your band alot more but a larger audience would be able to access and listen to your music like us mac users! Ugh...why did I buy a mac?!

Posted by: Lux at March 8, 2005 12:39 PM

There's only two songs on here because their album isn't out yet. Be patient.

Posted by: robot mark at March 8, 2005 12:47 PM

They sound great. Good luck to them.

Posted by: Megan at March 8, 2005 1:27 PM

Lux - mac users can listen to Cornerband MP3's just fine. MTV.com is another story, unfortunately. try using a different browser.

Posted by: jp at March 8, 2005 1:39 PM

hey, so i just saw you on mtv, why did they say you were on the garden state soundtrack? i dont see the hysterics anywhere...........your pretty good though.

Posted by: jackie at March 8, 2005 1:55 PM

you guys are dope. keep doing what your doing..dont change. :]

Posted by: sharnae at March 8, 2005 1:56 PM

I've been coming to the site for a while now and I love your taste in music.

I'm glad that not only did you practically discover these guys, but MTV is giving you credit for doing so.

It shows the rest of the country that sites such as your's are a great resource for finding music.

Posted by: Ian at March 8, 2005 1:56 PM

Hey hey,
Just heard you guys on MTV, You guys need to get signed cause if want I know a couple of labels that would take you. I am in a band Elevation, More of a death metal/metal sound but you guys were f'n sweet.. meandmyguitar1@yahoo.com if you guys wanna talk...

stephan

Posted by: Stephan at March 8, 2005 1:56 PM

You guys are really great, and you have such potential. Hopefully MTV has really boosted you, i hope you make it big!

also, MTV didn't say they were on the Garden State soundtrack. They said, "Sounds Like: Garden State Soundtrack"

Posted by: Jacqueline at March 8, 2005 2:06 PM

Hey you guys are great! Keep up the original sound. I hope you guys get signed soon. Im looking forward to more of your music in the furture!!!

Posted by: Kathryn at March 8, 2005 2:06 PM

Hey!. the one about u being the next beeteles is by me..i dont know y it says nicci..anyways..u guys are awsome!

Posted by: Paige at March 8, 2005 2:07 PM

Hey guys, Your stuff really kicks @$$! I saw a preview on the MTV "You Hear It First" segment, and normally I wouldn't actually get up off my butt and check it out because im usually too exhausted from class, but I couldn't resist... and I am sooooo glad I didn't! I can't believe you guys are 15-16, your material sounds so mature. I'll bet you anything, if you played before a group of college students, they would go NUTS! Yeah, btwe, I'm a 19-year-old college student at the Georgia Institute of Technology (which I know ya'll might not be familiar with because ur from Brooklyn, but it's like the MIT of the South!).If ya'll are interested, my roomie works for the radio station here, and I work for the newspaper, so I could either try and convine her to get ya'll on the radio down here, or I can talk to my Entertainment editor and see if we can get an interest going for the Tech community. Other than that, if you guys are interested in going to school at a technology school that's not MIT, hit me up! Later, I know you guys are gonna hit it BIG! ~Em

Posted by: Em at March 8, 2005 2:13 PM

It went from nicci to paige..im paige..and then the one about me saying..hey the one about the beetles is from me..for somereason the name turned to kathryn..anyways..its by me..paige..sry for the confusion..anyways..u guys are great..id love to go to ur perfomance on the 20th but i live in florida..lol

Posted by: Paige at March 8, 2005 2:14 PM

if you guys like the Hysterics...then check out the band Autumn and the Wasp (Flint, Mi)

Posted by: kaitlyn at March 8, 2005 3:36 PM

I heard about these guys on MTV U today. This is great shit. It's like the Beatles have come back in the form of high schoolers. Keep your sound guys, don't change it or sell out ever!

I've seen a lot of people on here have compared you to the Beatles and honestly that is the first band I thought of when I heard you guys....but I liked how you give it your own style. For a musican to be compared to the Beatles...especially at your age...even at any age is a huge accomplishment!! So keep it up! I loved the fact that you wouldn't do the MTV thing w/o your band! Thats hott! Stand up and show the world what you guys have....I can already tell you that we all want to hear more !! Peace Love and Music! :)

Posted by: Ashley at March 8, 2005 7:34 PM

Just saw TH on MTV like 5 min. ago! Loved it! Truly good music...hope they get a record deal!!!!!

Posted by: Magdalena at March 8, 2005 7:40 PM

Posted by: david at March 8, 2005 7:43 PM

I saw them on mtv today, it sounded like the beatles. i love the laid back, easy going sound. keep on rocking boys. we're all waiting for y'all to get a record deal. keep us posted! best of luck

Posted by: Jessica at March 8, 2005 7:55 PM

I LOVE THEM~ They do have a beatles sound to them..but they are the best

Posted by: M3gh@n at March 8, 2005 7:57 PM

My first comment made it sound like i dont like the beatles, I DO THEY ARE THE ALL TIME BEST lol

Posted by: M3gh@n at March 8, 2005 7:58 PM

I heard your band, while clicking around, watching the tube and all.....and i heard your band....and i was like wow...You're band is...like really good...I wanna hear more songs....do you have a purevolume site or anything? You should...well, my a.i.m. s/n is msmelodramatic00 and whatsername182.....my e-mail: whatsername0182@yahoo.com ..... good luck with the band. :)

Posted by: isabella (ms.melodramatic) at March 8, 2005 7:58 PM

i just saw them right now and yeah they are really awesome. it was also slightly depressing seeing as how i'm almost 16, i love music, and i can't play an instrument or sing well. i hope they gain a good fanbase not just fame and fortune, besides the lead singer seems like a smart kid and so does his teacher.

Posted by: ricky at March 8, 2005 8:00 PM

um, really?

Posted by: schlarb at March 8, 2005 8:01 PM

wow, your band has one of the most amazing sounds i have heard in a long time. you have what it takes to really go somewhere in the world of music. i hope you guys do well out there and dont sellout. keep the music as beautiful as it is and you'll always have a fan in me. i think i just fell in love.

Posted by: brittney at March 8, 2005 8:02 PM

Posted by: tratra at March 8, 2005 8:23 PM

Wow, you guys have got it. talent, publicity, im sure now that youve been on a national tv station youre going to get real big, real fast. im really looking foward to the release of your album. i also think you should look into having your own website for show times, record releases, things about yourselves for fans, and just whatever you think is cool. by the way, when you go on tour this summer(im set on it)try to hit us here in southern wv with a bit of your beach style rock! a lot of my friends are really interested in watching some guys our age really succeed at what we love most. theres plenty of places to play, and if you really want to go big, i suggest the charleston civic center, or the newly developed Clay center! n e way, im really excited on upcoming updates about you all. keep it up, youre all going somewhere!

Just to let you know there are tons of band that have a similiar sound. They are categorized as Beatlepop. Just google that and you'll find tons of references to it. I mean it's nice that MTV is finally recognizing a bit of the genre, but it's a been there done that type of that

Posted by: Maj Minor at March 8, 2005 9:19 PM

Posted by: Emmie at March 8, 2005 10:02 PM

hate to beat the same drum, but you all were really excellent. it's so great to see people my age listen to classic music and truly appreciate all music.

so, is there a separate band website? perhaps a myspace.com site? if not, i would suggest one. especially myspace. really seems to get the word out there.

good luck and hope to hear more from you soon!!!!

keep on rockin in the free world,

Posted by: Carly at March 8, 2005 10:24 PM

Your music is amazing. I just heard it on MTV and fell in love. And the fact that you guys are just 15 and 16 blew my mind. I can't wait to hear more of your music. Sounds kind of like the Beatles, but with a twist. Stay cool.

Posted by: Hilary at March 8, 2005 10:25 PM

Posted by: Amanda Williams at March 8, 2005 10:40 PM

Not to add on to the total MTV madness, but I happen to turn on the station (which I absolutely NEVER do) just in time to hear the "You Hear it First." I decided to pay attention, and I was a bit surprised. Usually they would do an interview with some rapper or something but they actually did something with people my age. Normal, average people who aren't overly spoiled with high maintainence! The music caught my ear, and here I am. I like the music, sounds like the Beetles >_

Posted by: Mika Rocker at March 8, 2005 10:48 PM

I saw them on MTV!

I mean, I didn't, but I felt left out in the face of this avalanche of obviously fake commentary driven, to a stupid extreme, either by MTV networks or the band's own PR machine!

Yeah! MTV ROCKS! Excelsior!

Posted by: at March 8, 2005 10:49 PM

I saw u guys in Mtv,I herd a pice of the song and had to look at this web site and check it out.You guys sound great kind of like a young version of the Beatles.keep it up and cant wait for more songs! come and chek out the sunset strip.... rock on!!!!

Posted by: Leslie Herrera at March 8, 2005 10:52 PM

The bands influences are great, (Velvet Underground, T Rex, etc.) but the sound they are producing is a pretty big let down. A new Beatles? I think not. A new indie pop band with potentional that I doubt will use it? I think so. Work more on the sound of your influences rather than what everyone would like to hear. Do in-depth research on the bands and their techniques. Bring something new to the table that no one has ever heard before. It's a hard task to complete, but the reward would be oh so sweet.

Posted by: Ryan at March 8, 2005 10:58 PM

I'm for california, just heard your song from MTV news. Really good stuff you got here, hope your cd comes out soon.

I saw it on MTV and then went and downloaded it before school. I abso-friggin-lutely love the sound. Almost like a modern day Beatles, but I am sure that has been mentioned. I can't wait to hear the rest. I wish I could go to the concert, but dangit, Indiana is just too far away. I do hope a cd comes out, I would be the first in the good old Hoosier state to buy it!

Posted by: Amanda at March 9, 2005 8:51 AM

The instant i heard them on tv, i fell in love with the sound. The Hysterics sound like a combonation of the Vines and the early Beatles. It helps that all the members are totally cute, too! ;P

Posted by: Whitley at March 9, 2005 9:02 AM

Yea you guys are pretty kool i like the upstairs staircase or whatever its called srry ifi didnt get the name of your song right but i mean c'mon your still new but you guys are a neato band i like it i dont know if i could listen to it all the time but i mean yea its a new sound and who knows you could be ***BIG*** Stay frosty ^_^

Posted by: schmoe at March 9, 2005 12:40 PM

I don't even know why I had mtv on, as I really don't like any of the music they play, but I'm glad I did. I just happened to hear a bit of mtv news, and I honestly can't believe that the music I heard came from 15 year-olds. I love the music that has influenced the Hysterics (the Beatles, Hendrix, etc.), so it's no wonder that I think their music is awesome as well, but at the same time, it's so original, and the fact that such talent exists in individuals so young is amazing. It's so refreshing and a relief for me too to know that not all teenagers today are into that poppy crap done by talentless preteens whose only care seems to be how sexy they look in their videos. Music? Instruments? What are those? Actual lyrics with meaning? All of these seem to absent from the high school/younger music scene, so it's nice for me to be proven wrong. Thanks, Hysterics. I am truly impressed.

Posted by: KristenM at March 9, 2005 12:52 PM

You guys are amazing - I can't believe how much talent u lot have! I hope you come and do a show in Minneapolis or something soon! Keep on rockin' -
Sam

Regardless of the fact that I'm like 4 years older than all of them, I really like their stuff. That kid Oliver is a musical genius.

Someone sign these kids. NOW.

Posted by: Nicole at March 9, 2005 1:20 PM

What can I say that hasn't been said before? This is really, really good stuff. I'd love to put it on my MP3 player. Keep up the good work!

Posted by: R at March 9, 2005 1:39 PM

Hey guys, I dont know if the band itself will get this, I live on the West Coast, saw the thing on MTV,and went to my computer directly and downloaded both the songs.

I am very impressed, if you have demos or flyers or anything, I would so much love to Street Team/ promote for you guys.

My email is Dunric_TZ@hotmail.com

Im not sure if you guys will get this, but not sure how else to reach you guys.

Posted by: Blake at March 9, 2005 1:44 PM

This is really really good stuff, and I am going to put it on my mp3 player. Seriously, give these kids a record deal, I want more songs. Keep it up, you guys are awesome.

Posted by: at March 9, 2005 2:14 PM

I watched them on the 'You hear it first' thang on MTV last night. I LOVE YOU GUYS! Seriously i have already listened to your song like 5 times....hahah! Well i hope you get an awesome record deal. On the Mostly Untitled song you guys totally remind me of the Beatles!

Posted by: Crystal at March 9, 2005 2:31 PM

I just saw these guys on MTV. I like the sound that I heard. Keep up the good work. If there is a website for these kids i would like to know it and find out when they play some shows so i can catch them play.

E-mail me with some any information at Szoke81@potsdam.edu

Posted by: Mike S at March 9, 2005 3:04 PM

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST BAND!!!

I saw you on MTV yesterday and you rock!!!

keep it up guys...and good luck at the show on the 20th!!!

Posted by: Li at March 9, 2005 3:45 PM

Saw you guys on MTV's you hear it first and fell in love. I really love the indie rock sound. Its great that you guys are only in high school. It will show alot to people that may claim you are to young. I think you have the ability to go far and alot of potential. Good luck, and i cant wait until a record is released! i know you'll get a deal, who would be so stupid to pass u guys up
--know that I'll always be a fan--

Posted by: Kelli at March 9, 2005 3:53 PM

Well, I'm not the first to say (and surely not the last) that I heard about Hysterics on mtv. I really love your guys' sound & hope you get a record deal. I'll be first in line for the CD when you guys do, which you most certainly will.

Posted by: Chrissy at March 9, 2005 4:24 PM

The number of comments on here that refer to "the indie sound" or say that Oliver & co. "sound indie" blows my mind - didn't "indie" used to mean "on an independent record label" and therefore apply to many different kinds of sounds? Now it's a genre. Weird.

Posted by: at March 9, 2005 4:29 PM

The Hysterics deffinitely need a website....cuz they are awesome and awesome bands have websites and it would be easier to stay up to date on news n stuff on them

Posted by: Corey at March 9, 2005 4:32 PM

Oliver
is
HOT

lol...good luck to you guys you are gunna hit it big :D!!! Go get a record deal so I can listen to a you guys 24/7. I hope to hit the concert on the 20th! I'm roundin' up my friends so we can see you

ROCK ON!!!

Posted by: at March 9, 2005 4:45 PM

I saw you guys on Mtv and fell in love! you have such a unique voice! Huge fan!!

Posted by: Brittany at March 9, 2005 4:56 PM

hhey i love the sound. you all have such a unique playing skill. the bass just really sets off the vocals and i love just about everything. Oliver's voice is so strong, in the last stanza? of mostly untitled. Very rare now a days that you here a song without sex drugs and violence, and a good one at that. Keep um comin'!

Posted by: sarah at March 9, 2005 5:14 PM

I just wanted to let you know, you guys are really amazing, alot more than my band. You really ought to make some videos and send them into VH1 or something.

In Mostly Untitled, is the singing recorded using any f/x or anything?

Posted by: unknown~ at March 9, 2005 5:21 PM

I saw them on MTV, it's really amazing that they're only 14 + 15.

I just put both songs on my i-pod

Wow.. I saw these guys on MTV this morning and decided to check out this website. I think you guys are awesome and I already called my mom to go to your concert on March 20th. I really think you guys are great, and you're only 15 which is really cool cause I'm 13. Hope I can go to your concert!

Posted by: Emily at March 9, 2005 8:09 PM

i love it. i can just keep lisening to it over and over. great sound, keep up the good work!

Posted by: sam at March 9, 2005 8:14 PM

You guys are great its hard to belive that you are all 15. Your sound is vey matture for your age I think you guys will go far. I hope you get a good record deal but don't get all lost in the madness of the industry stay true to who you are.

Posted by: NY Dragon Girl at March 9, 2005 8:39 PM

i love this band!!! well me and my friend really like the beatles and we think they sond like the later beatles!! (finaly "the beatles" of our time... i won't be so stuck in the past)i really hope they make it...the guys are really hott :P

Posted by: mandalyn at March 9, 2005 8:47 PM

HEY MAN, YOU GUYS ROCK!!! I lOVE YOUR SOUND. YOU GUYS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SLIT MUSIC RIGHT DOWN THE SPINE LIKE "NIRVANA" DID. YOU GUYS ARE A MUSIC THIRST QUENCHER. OUR CULTURE HAS BEEN STUCK IN THE SAND FOR AWHILE WAITING FOR THE NEXT GREAT THING. WE'VE FINALLY FOUND IT, AN OASIS. HOPE YOU GUYS MAKE IT BIG. CAN'T WAIT TO BUY YOUR CD.

Posted by: JIM DONKIN at March 9, 2005 8:57 PM

These guys are great, I can't believe they are in high school. I am 25, and I am diggin' it. Sounds like something straight off the Garden State soundtrack. Good luck guys!

Posted by: Andrea Laura at March 9, 2005 9:32 PM

Now I know who the Hysterics remind me of in "Mostly Untitled" - Sean Lennon, on his album, Into the Sun. Amazing. Keep up the great work, guys!

Posted by: KristenM at March 9, 2005 9:59 PM

They sound awesome, Came strait to the site when I saw them on mtv news! :) I downoaded boath songs! :D

Posted by: Justin at March 9, 2005 10:42 PM

Hey im 14, about a week ago my friend told me about this band from New York she said she seen something about them on mtv and they were only 14 and 15 yr olds she added that they have an indie rock backround. Im such a fan of indie rock I had to check these guys out. When I got home later that night I checked this website out listened to their songs and she was right they were good she knew I would love them, that night I must have listened to the songs atleast 10 times each! I cant believe ppl my age are out there making that good of music! I couldnt even dream of writing those catchy lyrics (Great job Oliver you have some talent) the members of the band are okay for their age (may need a little bit more time practicing before they can go really big) but oliver his voice is ready it already seems if he had a voice of a 20 yr old man! That voice of Oliver makes him seem like hes much older than 15. come one! The Hysterics are a mix of old school indie new rock and hopefully the music of the future will be a mix of old and new school! I would love to come home one day and hear my kids listening to this type of music. whats up with music these days rap more like crap! I dont see any talent in rap, but rock! thats all talent and at the age of 14 and 15 wow these guys have won them a huge fan! cant wait till I hear more of The Hysterics.- love always Kayla

Posted by: Kayla Dooley at March 9, 2005 11:37 PM

OH ya and Oliver your such a babe ;)
-love always Kayla

Posted by: Kayla at March 9, 2005 11:48 PM

I saw these guys earlier this week, and loved it almost instantly, but couldn't remember the website name - because that's how idiotic I am. Then this morning, as I was getting ready for school, I turned on the T.V. and there they were, finally I got home from school, and after I'd finished all my after school crap, I came here. Wow, I ADORE these guys, they are quite possibly my new favorite band! I REALLY hope they get signed, I would SO buy this C.D and wait in a line all night just to get it. - and that Oliver, dear god - BEAUTIFUL!!! Love his voice, and everything else about him! Hope to hear more from The Hysterics soon! Hugs & Kisses -Aly

Posted by: Aly at March 10, 2005 12:00 AM

You guys ROCK! Make a record soon and ill buy like 5...ya know in case i lose the first four.

Posted by: Albert at March 10, 2005 4:26 AM

I only heard your music for like one minute and im already a fan. I hope you guys go to the top and remember the people that posted here, were the true #1 fans!!

Posted by: Albert at March 10, 2005 4:28 AM

I really like the "Mostly Untitled" song, the bridge i thought needs work, but the whole song is pretty good, wouldn't mind putting this on my playlist, Love the Sound though, it doesn't sound like Beatle-ish, gReat...

Love the Melodic sound, something you can dream to. Love to hear more from you guys-

Posted by: Quang Van at March 10, 2005 5:52 AM

opps i meant to say it DOES sound Beatle-ish, Great Sound love it, a "happy depressing" melodic sounds great-

Posted by: Quang Van at March 10, 2005 5:54 AM

i don't like yall other songs as much as "Mostly Untitled" ... the other songs (heard the other 2 on your cornerband page) are OK, but the Melodic Beatles Sound of "Mostly Untitled" is great. You guys should do more songs in that area... This Depressing but "Happy" song is ur thang, keep with that type of sound, cause it sounds great- And i'll love to hear the Acoustic/Solo version?

Posted by: Quang at March 10, 2005 6:18 AM

You guys reminded me of the beach boys! Well I love you guys and I am going to download your music and when you guys go platinum I will be your biggest fan. Good Luck!

Posted by: leticia at March 10, 2005 9:48 AM

Hey guys. Not sure if you will even read this since you have so many posts. Yes, I have to agree I love your sound! There is something wrong with the music biz if you don't get signed. I am a HUGE HUGE music fan and know a lot of different kinds of music and I think your sound could go over seas and do awesome there as well. I'm a 20 year old college student here at Indiana University. I only have one thing to ask of you as one of your first fans and soon to be many....PLEASE STAY TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE AND NEVER SELL OUT!!! Its sad seeing awesome bands sell out. Good Luck!

~Chelsea~

Posted by: Chelsea at March 10, 2005 12:28 PM

omg you guys are wonderful! as soon as i saw you on TV i just fell in love. Your band remines me alot of my friends here. I bet you thought it would never get this big! well i have downloaded all of your songs! just hope you get a record deal! ill definitly watch and listen some more for you!

!xoxo! jade

Posted by: jade at March 10, 2005 12:31 PM

Of course another person who saw the mtv blib a few days ago (embarassingly, I think I am too old to be watching MTV) and had to check out some of their stuff. Was really impressed, somethin about their music hit some guilty pleasures of mine! Really laughed out loud over the kid who wanted turntables at first, that was cute! There's enough DJ's out there anyway!


If you guys havent done so already, would highly recommend creating a band profile on MySpace, doesnt hurt to spread the word. Im sure a record deal will be comin' soon boys!

ooh yes and geeky science teacher with fabulous taste in music .....drool for JP.

;)

Posted by: bassbiz at March 10, 2005 3:30 PM

they kinda remind me of the monkeys. definatly a different sound from what is popular at the moment.

Posted by: Sam at March 10, 2005 4:33 PM

me likey! im into hip hop but when i heard this track, i had this joint on repeat all day! someone really needs to offer them a record deal. thier music is so different from the stuff on today. im lovin them!

This band rocks i wish there was someway to download the song

Posted by: Chunks at March 10, 2005 5:55 PM

this group is really awesome to but me they sound like the beatles a little but they are still a good gruop because they are so young

Posted by: smarts at March 10, 2005 7:10 PM

Not wanting to ruin the party but are they really that great. I mean i loved the Oliver Ignatius solo songs that were up, i really thought he was an exciting new talent. But they just seem to have diluted that. I mean sure it's still pretty good but it's not what it could have been (they don't seem to be helping oliver realise his promise). I mean i get they're young and talented musicians as a whole but there is also an immaturity that results in pretension (Hysterics? it's not a great name) and the titles of the songs .

Posted by: Joseph at March 10, 2005 7:12 PM

Its awsome...i can't think of a better word for it except awsome. The first time i heard it i immediately thought of the Beatles... except its nice and fresh. Its really refreshing to hear something new. I've become so used to modern rock, that as soon as i heard this song i was automatically attracted to it. I'm gonna go tell my friends about it...and to download it hehe bye bye!

Posted by: Kaitie at March 10, 2005 7:28 PM

the band rocks! i saw them on mtv.. and they are so hott. they will defintley make it.

Posted by: danielle at March 11, 2005 12:25 PM

Posted by: Jasmine at March 13, 2005 11:13 AM

Wow... they have found themselves a new fan. Like practically everyone else, I heard them (and saw them) on MTV. Then, like many girls, I noticed how good-looking they are. Good music and good looks, I cannot see how they won't make it. If only I was two years younger and in New York.

Posted by: Jon at March 14, 2005 1:40 PM

Wow. I think you guys are great, with a definite 60's mellow vibe to your music. I think it would be near blasphemy if you all didn't get signed! And damn, I wish I lived in NY to see your show.

Keep it real, and when your CD comes out, I'll be one of the first to buy it.

I was watching MTV and heard about you guys, and man, your music is awesome! I love how it's your own sound. Everything just sounds great! I got a feeling this won't be the last time I hear about Hysterics on TV! Good luck with everything!

Hey ya'll kick ass and should put out an album. I am very impressed and look forward to hearing ya'll in a car. And also, please remember Little Rock, Arkansas whenever ya'll tour. We never get awesome music like ya'll, we get all the crap music or bands that should of stopped touring in 1985. And stay like ya'll are right now. There are so many awesome artists out there that turned into cocky bastards. Don't do that! Girls are impressed more with the ones that totally keep it real!! Email me.

cocky bastards? you're lookin' at em.

Posted by: nikaplease at March 14, 2005 10:15 PM

Posted by: victoRia at March 16, 2005 12:30 PM

I love the Website, killer info and great bands. I find myself checking it daily since I saw the promo spot on MTV. The spot they did about the Hysterics was good, but the first time I heard them it sounded familiar, then I remembered the Hysterics sound just like any Ben Kweller album.

Posted by: Sky at March 16, 2005 3:34 PM

I totally luv these guys and thier sound. I HOPE THEY GET A RECORD LABEL BECAUSE I WOULD SO BUY THIER CD'S!!!

Posted by: Coley at March 16, 2005 7:05 PM

aw these guys are so good! i love them! for some reason the boys voice reminds me of davey joans from the monkeys? i totally love them! soo good if they get a record label i will buy there cds they are GREAT!!

Posted by: jessica at March 16, 2005 8:38 PM

impressive.

Posted by: Cali at March 17, 2005 6:55 AM

They do sound like a mixture of Ben Kweller and Rooney. Heh, what a great name, Oliver Ignatius. (I assume that's how it's spelled. Hmm, now I'm not sure if Ignatius is even his last name anymore. . . . . )
I hope you get signed, ^_^

Posted by: Cara at March 17, 2005 6:02 PM

I think all of you watch way too much television. Instead of creaming over hysterics go do something...

just a little reminder

Posted by: The baron OF MILK at March 17, 2005 8:36 PM

The band is awesome, congratulations on getting a break. I think someone with this much talent should be noticed. The song "Mostly Untitled" makes me happy just from hearing it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Posted by: Ashley at March 17, 2005 8:42 PM

hey, u guys rock!!!! Dude, if my voice ever sounds as good as urs does i'd probabley b dreaming. i'm buying ur album as soon as it cums out. mtv gave u a really big head start i've been trying 2 land a record deal for a few years now with my band. i guess it would help if we weren't still in jr. high :-/. o well. keep up the rockage!!!

Posted by: Sarah at March 17, 2005 9:31 PM

sounds like pissing on a furnace

Posted by: from soup to pothead at March 17, 2005 9:38 PM

I *Heart* the Hysterics! They're reminiscent of the Beatles, but at the same time completely original. If they cut a record deal, I would definitely by it! And I love the fact that Oliver said he wouldn't do anything without his band! Rock On!

Posted by: Dominique at March 17, 2005 10:37 PM

Thank GOD!! I am so happy that someone my age has finally proved that we're not all brain dead. Most people twice our age couldn't do what you're doing. Thank You so much for making the awesome music!! Even my mom likes it:)

so i just was listening to this while i was in the humanities lab at my school. me and this girl nikki who is the best ever were listening to it while writing our essay and all the girls in our class (for reference there's only one boy in class anyhoo) were all like who are these guy? where can i get their cd? so y'all should get a cd out cuz i know y'all make money, not that it's about money, but you know what i mean! people wouls like ya!

Posted by: Gracie at March 23, 2005 7:31 PM

This band is what this country needs. I am sick of all this rap. I want some band that is going to remind me of the beatles, and this band is the closest we have come.

Posted by: Jake at March 26, 2005 10:19 AM

This band has "future classic" written all over it. The vocalist is amazing. Not to mention the background instraments that go a long way to make the music what it is, amazing. Despite the simplistic lyrics, I have to say this is one of my favorite bands already. Sadly I can only access two of their songs. When are new songs coming? Are they planning a CD?

Posted by: Justin at March 27, 2005 2:21 AM

I just saw the Hysterics on MTV news OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are so damn good You guys should play in Arcata ca.,

P.S.
Oliver you are so damn fine

Posted by: jadanalexander at April 3, 2005 3:30 PM

Posted by: Ashley at April 6, 2005 6:18 PM
