The Panics are rad. Enough said.

May 14th 2008 22:50
I am officially a bad person. Why, you may ask?

I didn’t know about the Panics until just a few weeks ago.

Now as a music nerd (and a music snob, I judge people by their CD collection and if there is even a whiff of the Veronica’s in there, then they are out of my life), I pride myself on knowing any decent band. I’ll even fake knowing them sometimes.

But with the Panics I was months, nay years late jumping on the bandwagon. And so to make up for it I encourage you all to jump on said bandwagon this instant.

The Panics are a fabulous band from Australia who’s latest single ‘Don’t Fight It’ is pretty much eating up airwaves.


They have a beautiful album released late last year called ‘Cruel Guards’ and from start to finish it is thoroughly enjoyable.

The Panics awesome CD


I recently had the pleasure of seeing them preform at St Jerome’s Laneway Festival in Brisbane and they were amazing (in other news there’s a rumour that Laneway will soon be expanding to take on cities over seas. Go Aussie GO!).

Panics 1
See how amazing they are?



That little Aussie band more than held their own amongst Canadian greats like Broken Social Scene, Manchester Orchestra and even Feist (who was rad).

They wailed, they drawled, they got the whole crowd attempting to dance even though they were plastered and sunburnt.

Drunken footy-short clad men swayed to the music, singing oddly in tune to the music.

Incredibly trendy girls in tight jeans, heels and berets but down their vodka cruisers and attempted to groove.

It was amazing to watch.

Panics 2
See, they swayed. I do not lie!


Kings of Leon (a fabulous hillbilly rock band soon to reviewed) also recently saw the Panics preform live and were instant fans.

“You know how normally when you hear a band you can list the bands that influenced them or that they ripped off straight away? We couldn't do it for them. They sounded like nothing I'd heard before – really melodic, almost atmospheric,” KOL drummer Nathan Followill told American Rolling Stone magazine.

Damn straight.

So, having now found out who this great band were, bought their latest album and played it constantly for the last month, I encourage you all to do the same.

Don’t skip a track, don’t put it on shuffle, just listen to a masterful album that’s smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.
