Like a tea bag that's been steeped in the cup for a good 20-minutes, Permission serve up some strong and dark punk. The London band, made up of members of Perspex Flesh, No and No Form, present an aggressive and goading form of hardcore and their new album Contagious Life on the great La Vida Es Un Mus label has more menace than melody. I've seen comparisons to Die Kreuzen but Permission come with an even more more aggro approach and tracks like "Just Wait and See What I Do" sound as gruff and threatening as you imagine them to be.Permission are playing in London in November as part of the excellent Static Shock Weekend V, that attracts some of the best UK and international punk bands including Limp Wrist, Exit Order, Haram, Strong Boys, Krimewatch, BIB and Acrylics.In the meantime get your head around tracks like "The Shine Has Gone" and "Drift Apart" and catch some spittle to the eye.'Contagious Life is available now through La Vida Es Un Mus.Catch Permission with Acrylics, Farce and Subdued Nov 11 in London at New River Studios as part of Static Shock Weekend V .For bands and music like Permission stream Tim Scott's radio show Teenage Hate.
