Given they've been on the road with fellow Melburnians The Smith Street Band to play their biggest venues to date recently, it's no surprise emo punks Ceres have collaborated with Wil Wagner for the new single, Stretch Ur Skin.

The song even hails from a brand new EP called Stretch Ur Skin, which the boys have announced they'll be taking out on the road this August to celebrate in what they've said will be their "last shows for a long, long time". 

The band's singer Tom Lanyon explains, "Stretch Ur Skin EP ended up more like a companion piece to Drag It Down On You than anything else. A little sister all of you never wanted, maybe. Cobbling together the new and the old and the reworked felt more right than you would think. Like an extension of the last record. Like it was always going to happen. Maybe even had to happen. I guess they call that an inevitability.

"Having the chance to collaborate with good friends made it all the more serendipitous. I’m glad these songs could see the light of day —and glad we could give them a chance on the ears and hearts I think they deserve, but never would say out loud (especially in a press quote)."

The special shows will head down the east coast this August with their mates in Slowly Slowly, stopping in at Brisbane, Sydney (at the newly relaunched Lansdowne Hotel) and Melbourne until 11 August.
