Permanent Me don’t stray too far from the formula on this record. After the Room Clears is an album that relies on pop-punk hooks and heartbreak. The vocals are clear, clean, and confident, and the songs are well written and produced, even if they are a bit shallow and formulated. Fans of bands like Fall Out Boy and Plain White T’s should definitely check them out.
