Philadelphia melodic punk trio FILM, featuring Ken Vasoli of The Starting Line and Joe Reinhart of Algernon Cadwallader, announce their debut album 'Permanence', set for release on May 22 via Lauren Records. The album is particularly poignant as it includes the final recordings of drummer TJ DeBlois, who passed away in 2023. The band chose to preserve the rawness of the sessions, transforming what was initially intended as a demo into a powerful document of collaboration and loss. The music reflects a gritty, instinct-driven sound reminiscent of bands like Drive Like Jehu, Braid and Mclusky, while exploring themes of legacy and the fleeting nature of time. The lead single 'Roundabout' is available now, showcasing the band's urgent and stripped-down approach to songwriting. The track captures the essence of a basement practice session, emphasizing the immediacy and emotional weight of their music. Vasoli and Reinhart express their gratitude for DeBlois's contributions, highlighting the importance of sharing this final work as a tribute to their friend and collaborator. 'Permanence' stands as a testament to the band's journey and the lasting impact of their shared experiences.
