I love Permanent. They might be my favorite band of the last couple years. The West-Coast style melodies and riffs combined with a really Virginian perspective (whatever that means... I guess you have to live here) makes it something powerful. It's not the kind of thing that you put on so you can practice your mosh in front of the mirror. It's not really even the sort of thing you put on in a car full of people. Permanent is different from the rest of hardcore; I would compare them to Stay Gold or Sinking Ships if anything. Just listen to it, ponder some, and then listen some more. And tell your friends.Permanent — Sleeping Ep

Permanent originally formed in Richmond with a combination of members of Charlottesville's For All Time and Blacksburg's Hold Me Back. They put out a demo, this EP, a split with Resonance, and Sink|Swim, a masterpiece of melodic hardcore. I can't stress enough the depth of this band. They broke up a year or so back, and I'm still bummed I only ever saw them a few times. Really hoping for a reunion.
