Served In Silence

Permaculture is a newer recording project from Ryan (Social Circkle), and Jen (Nuclear Family).  The music on this ep, Swallow What You're Given, harkens back to the starkness of early UK anarcho punk, but you realize within the first 10 seconds of this record that this band is no nostalgia trip and they really know what the hell they're doing.  The lyrics are visioned, emotional, commanding, passionate and delivered with zero irony.  The socio-political messages creep into you and you find yourself believing.  The instruments are all played by Ryan and his arrangements are masterful in their complexity and beauty.  These 4 songs are beyond impressive, and I hope they find themselves firmly lodged in the canons of punk rock for decades to come.  Jen and Ryan, please make more Permaculture.
