Brian Kapler and Joseph Guccione are keeping the candle burning for this interesting band. The “former members” list is getting longer, as the band has employed and lost Adam Aviles, Chris Leonard and Dan McCabe on guitar (though with different band names). Gone too are bassists Artie Fleischmann, Justin Morrell and Jon Bulzomi. Drummer Mike Fleischmann completes the list for now.
Yet, there is something here that Kapler and Guccione seem to insist on featuring.
“Allison” from After The Room Clears (2007 Stolen) stands strongly on melody, for one thing. The slight changes in guitar attack help immensely with this east coast band (Baltimore, New York).
“Stay The Night” is billed as a demo. Permanent ME is demonstrating a bit of darkness with this tune, pleading for something that young boys aren’t supposed to think about. Yeah, right!!
“Until You Leave” also from After The Room Clears (2007 Stolen) continues the level of young-boy-becoming-man sound. Chunky guitar playing is featured. “Christine” from the same CD seems to be an angry song, a pleading song and an experimental song in that the structure is just slightly different.
Permanent ME has a string of shows scheduled for Pianos in Brooklyn, New York from May 1 through May 22.
