History

生活在这个城市，这个时代，我们看清了很多...... 这是一个不完美的世界，我们无法选择。面对丑恶，面对创伤，面对死亡，事实上我们无路可逃。所以逃跑的真正意义仅存在于计划。

我们能做出的反应大多只能是慌乱，但也有例外，就是一些根本逃不掉的东西-热爱。

Formed in December 2007, Perdel is signed to BeautyLife Co. (美丽世界音乐公司). In the beginning their style was based on brit pop, turning more and more towards indie pop with eletro, new wave and post punk elements.
