The Perms are a Winnipeg-based alternative rock group. Their combination of well-crafted, melody driven songs and upbeat, energetic live shows have become a staple of the band’s repertoire. “With every record we try to push our songwriting and musicianship to the next level,” says bassist Shane Smith. “The same goes for our live shows – we’re always trying to outdo our last performance.” The Perms have finished recording their fourth full-length studio album. Titled Keeps You Up When Your Down, the 12-song disc promises to be the band’s best offering to date, relying heavily on the band’s pop sensibilities and ability to write a stick-in-your-head songs. “The new album is a little more hard edged and in your face,” says guitarist Chad Smith. “These songs are by far the best we’ve ever written.” The new album will be a follow up to Better Days (2006), which charted heavily on campus radio and created a strong buzz within the music industry. The album produced three singles, two music videos, and several tours across Canada and the US. Other releases by The Perms include Clark Drive (2002) and Tight Perm (1998). “The Perms are a timeless pop band, employing catchy melodies and tight songwriting above all else, and it’s something proven by the classic pop sounds of “Better Days” – an upbeat and joyful treat for the senses.” -  UK Music Search
