Irresistible pop melodies are the order of the day with Manitoba trio The Perms, a group that is anything but new to the Canadian music landscape. Formed in 1998, the group released their sixth independent album, The Aberdeen EP, earlier this year.
The Perms’ latest collection is a shining example of power-pop at its near-finest. The group seemingly has an abundance of sing-along worthy choruses and glorious guitar-driven melodies at the ready, reminiscent of scene stalwarts like Sloan and Redd Kross. Earlier this year, the band cut a Breaking Bad-inspired video for their track “The Parent Thing,” an ironic contradiction given the seriousness of the original show stacked up against the song’s upbeat, sunny disposition.
In addition to maintaining an ever-busy performance schedule, The Perms have also performed at a host of Canadian music festivals including CMW and NXNE and enjoyed extensive runs throughout Europe. If there is any justice in the world, The Perms’ tenacity, perseverance, and commitment to their vision will pay off in spades some day soon.
