Band 'Kiss' gets permit (7)
I believe the answer is:
necklet
'band' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'kiss gets permit' is the wordplay.
'kiss' becomes 'neck' (neck can informally mean to kiss).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'permit' becomes 'let' (synonyms).
'neck'+'let'='NECKLET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for necklet that I've seen before include "Item of jewellery" , "Something like a choker" , "Ornament worn above shoulder level" , "Something ornamental" , "Little ornament" .)
