The Perms are a Winnipeg-based alternative rock group. Their combination of well-crafted, melody driven songs and upbeat, energetic live shows have become a staple of the band's repertoire.

'With every record we try to push our songwriting and musicianship to the next level,' says bassist Shane Smith. 'The same goes for our live shows - we're always trying to outdo our last performance.'

The Perms have released their fourth full-length release, 'Keeps You Up When You're Down.' The album promises to be the band's best offering to date, relying heavily on the band's pop sensibilities and ability to write a stick-in-your-head songs.

'The new album is a little more hard edged and in-your-face,' says guitarist Chad Smith. 'These songs are the best we've ever written.'

'Keeps You Up...' is a follow up to 'Better Days,' released in 2005.
