Hailing from southeast London The Panic are fast making a name for themselves on the London live circuit. Having formed in only May of this year, The Panic performed their first gig on June 27th at Kentish Town's infamous live venue The Bull & Gate, which has been the springboard for a number of the UK's best guitar bands over the past 15 years.

Following in the tradition of 3-piece power bands, The Panic were built to play live. With high energy guitar riffs, soaring melodies and hard rocking innovative drumming they fast built a loyal following. Gigs have included University of Kent's Student Union, playing to a crowd of 500 strong. Having only played just over a dozen of dates so far they have begun to find themselves in high demand.

The most recent achievements of The Panic have been getting exposure on XFM's Unsigned slot (hosted by Claire Sturgess during her Exposure Show) and getting one of their newly recorded tracks onto a small label compilation album.

The Panic are brothers David (guitars/vocals) and Andy Bell (drums). The line-up is completed by Ben Littlewood (bass).
