Permilla

In the sunsetting months of 2023, Nicole Cerminara, her brother Joseph “Junior” Cerminara, and their adopted brother Myles Rogers, (FKA JIN THE BAND), fatefully met in a greasy Toronto diner with legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, KISS, Phish). Even if they weren’t aware of it yet, the group that had entered that diner, already a powerhouse in the Niagara / Toronto gigging music scene, left as a band with a new found life.

The songwriting team of Cerminara and Rogers took a new face, focused on their combined love of Americana and British Invasion style melodies. It ignited a stint of colourful, harmonic, sticky songwriting - reminiscent of the female-fronted power of Janis Joplin and Fleetwood Mac, other times the genre-bending acrobatics of Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones.

The live show is a ruthless war machine, with Nicole leading the charge and Rogers and Cerminara fully committed to the battle alongside her, all three dictating and adapting to the changes on-stage, steering the machine with telekinetic instinct and harmony, the type of thing only forged through the timeless crucible of countless three-set cover gigs and dues paid during years of on-stage experience together.

With a new moniker, named ‘Permilla’ after their songwriting house, and the ultimate resource, a fully functional analog studio wielded by Myles and his father, ‘Permilla’ have begun a lightning paced record-and-release schedule in 2024
