Permagrin is a tribute to the music created by Justin Veatch. A composer and multi-instrumentalist whose life ended suddenly at the age of 17, back in 2007.
Just had spend most of his time crafting a series of songs which are a perfect insight into who he was. And when one listens to his craft, you can't help but wonder what may have been of him, if he hadn't passed away. The album features the few compositions Justin managed to record, as well as covers and tributes from other bands playing his stuff. (An amazing one is Moving Mountain's cover of Can't Afford The Color)
I'm not gonna be a douche and post a download link to this, because honestly, you should buy it.
All money that is made from the sales of this album goes toward the Justin Veatch fund, which
recognizes the teaching of music and art as a critical component of a child’s education. The mission of The Fund is to support emerging, college-bound artists with opportunities to discover new skills and to refine existing talent.
Melancholic, beautiful and strangely haunting. If you want to hear more about his music, or purchase the album go to:

Absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. It's absolutely inspiring. And sad at the same time.
