Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring a completely overhauled lineup helmed by Ian McNabb, 'Permanent Damage' steers the group away from their post-punk roots toward mature, radio-friendly pop-rock. Despite boasting exceptionally polished production and strong melodic hooks, the album was a commercial disappointment, leading to the band's dissolution.
