The Panics music is a poetic celebration of the Australian landscape; a cinematic score to lost summers and bittersweet road-trips. Mojo Magazine UK said “The Panics vivid songs have a voice of their own - Modern hymns for a generation, anthems of rash joy and quiet heartbreak”

In 2002 The Panics headed to Manchester England to perform at the ‘In the City’ Music convention and began working on their debut album ‘A house on a street in a town I’m from’ in a studio in Salford.

They won many industry awards including Triple J ‘Album of the Year’ and an ARIA Award for ‘Cruel Guards”, which featured the hit single “Don’t fight it”. “it epitomises their strengths: deceptively laid-back, it sidles up with a calming blanket of Hammond organ, brass, strings and sonorous piano & a chorus “Don’t fight it if you don’t know what it is”, you are forced to agree and adopt it as a mantra… Pop bliss. ” The Sunday Times UK

Their songs have been featured in film and TV and they scored the soundtrack for “Girt by sea”, an immersive visual journey about the importance of the Australian coast.

“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." Nathan Followill (Kings of Leon) Rolling Stone Mag USA
