Permanent Collection: No Void (Ep, 2013)

On this new 7" extended player Oakland-based noise rockers Permanent Collection strip down their sound and present four new songs that churn, agitate and rupture. With throbbing bass tones, violent guitar scrapes and on point percussive splatter, PC returns with a release that retains their regard towards heavy melodic intonation. These dark, hook-filled post-punk pieces present a theme change for the band in response to the wearing, over congested Modern Era. 

Permanet Collection: One thousand sins (Single, 2012)

"Originally beginning as the post-Young Prisms solo project of Jason Hendardy in 2011, San Francisco's Permanent Collection became a more rounded-out affair when locals Megan Dabkowski (bass), Brenden Nerfa (guitar) and Mike Stillman (drums) were added to the mix. One part pop, one part shoegaze, with a punk spirit and energy, Permanent Collection exists in a world where it can scribble love notes to Creation Records on one hand, while nodding to neighbors Slumberland Records over the bay bridge on the other. The debut 12” EP Delirium was released last summer, but the recently completed new album -- Newly Wed Nearly Dead, set for release August 7th on San Francisco's Loglady Records -- is a template of what has become the Permanent Collection sound: candy coated pop structures, swathed in hazy guitars. Hendardy recruited the three additional band members in 2011, and collaborated with them to write and flesh-out the songs on Newly Wed Nearly Dead in their new rough-and-tumble practice space in the notorious Bayview District. The band also turned to cult music icons Monte Vallier (of Swell/Half-Church and owner of Ruminator Audio) and Kramer (producer of groups such as Galaxie 500 and Low) for recording and mastering, and the results are there. Robert Christgau described Sonic Youth as “not peering into the fissure (but) barreling down the turnpike like the fissure ain’t there.” No other contemporary pop group strives to mine that mentality like San Francisco’s Permanent Collection does. The band’s punk infused, fuzzed out pop will leave your ears ringing and your heart stinging. For the forthcoming LP, Newly Wed Nearly Dead the band turned to cult music icons Monte Vallier (of Swell/Half-Church and owner of Ruminator Audio) and Kramer (producer of groups such as Galaxie 500 and Low) for recording and mastering. Carving out new territory for the band, this album will have your brain crooning and undoubtedly fall into your subconscious" (Soundcloud)

Permanent Collection: It´s allright (Single, 2012)

"Former Young Prisms member Jason Hendardy sure seems to be digging an early 90s vibe at the moment, with new band Permanent Collection and 'It's Alright', a track from new album 'Newly Wed, Nearly Dead', sounding like a mixture of grunge, shoegaze and other forms of vintage alternative rock"(soundsxp.com)

Permanent Collection: It´s allright (Single, 2012)

"Ya comenté por aquí hace unas semanas sobre el debut de los de San Francisco. Newly Wed Nearly Dead se prevé para agosto y tenemos nuevo adelanto: It’s Alright. Permanent Collection es el nuevo proyecto de Jason Hendardy, ex Young Prisms. Aquellos que sigan disfrutando con el zumbido de las guitarras de finales de los ochenta, sobretodo noventeras, Permanent Collection merecen sean profundizados. Se ha traido la pesadez en las cuerdas, y aunque suenen a muchos, tienen personalidad propia, quizás algo tenga que ver esa voz abandonada y delirante de Jason" (escafandrista-musical.com)
