✔️ Permanent Makeup LP release w/Prison Warder/Vacancy/Chaff Permanent Makeup’s last LP (this year’s I Don’t Like You Either) only existed on the internet, so we’re glad that the band’s own label — No Clear Records — has teamed up with friends (DeadTank Records, IFB Records) to press 300 vinyl copies of the St. Pete punks’ latest — Scrape — on which bassist Christopher Nadeau, guitarist James Bess and drummer Susan Dickson-Nadeau careen their way through bouncy, angry tracks like album opener “Currency” and the demonically woozy crunch of “Desperate Adults.” Listen to more of the LP here.
