Panic! at the Disco was an American pop rock band from Las Vegas formed by childhood friends Ryan Ross (lyrics, guitar and vocals), Spencer Smith (drums), Brent Wilson (bass) and Brendon Urie (lead vocals, various instruments).The band's name comes from a line in the song "Panic" by Name Taken, but due to the relative obscurity of this reference, the more familiar "Panic" by The Smiths is usually cited, as the song contains the line "Burn down the disco" in its chorus. The famous exclamation mark in their name was reportedly a spontaneous decision; according to Brendon Urie in 2008, the band members "wrote it that way once, when we first started the band, and then ... people kept writing it that way, and it was a freakin' whirlwind." They notably dropped it for their second album Pretty. Odd., for which they went by Panic at the Disco — a choice that caused outrage among fans.The project of the band started somewhere around March/April 2004. Initially starting out as a blink-182 cover band and eventually aiming to provide a lighter and more accessible counterpart to the heavier music scene of Las Vegas, they grew popular as an eclectic pop rock band and were discovered by Fall Out Boy's bassist Pete Wentz and signed to his vanity label Decaydance at the end of 2004.The band was subject to numerous roster changes. Jon Walker replaced Wilson on bass in 2006, and Ross and Walker left the band in 2009 to form their own band, The Young Veins, being replaced by touring guitarist Ian Crawford (formerly of The Cab)note Though he left not long after that, only to be replaced by guitarist Kenny Harris, who was himself fired in September 2018 for numerous sexual misconduct allegations involving underage fans and bassist Dallon Weekes (formerly of The Brobecks, now in I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME). Weekes officially joined the band as a full-time member in 2012 but ceased studio contributions in 2015note he remained a touring member until December 2017, and with Smith quitting earlier that year, that left Brendon as the only official member of Panic! at the Disco.As a result, Panic! was widely considered by audiences, the media, and Brendon himself to be Brendon's solo endeavor, as he wrote/co-wrote all the songs and played all the instruments, with some contributions by studio musicians and music producers. In January 2023, Brendon announced that Panic! would be disbanding after the European leg of the Viva Las Vengeance Tour in order for him to focus on his family. The final performance was on March 10, 2023, at Manchester's AO Arena.The live touring band consisted of Dan Pawlovich (the band's former drum tech and Spencer's immediate replacement after Spencer left, also a member of the band Valencia) on drums, Nicole Row (former live bassist for Miley Cyrus) on bass, and Mike Naran (former guitarist for Sparks The Rescue) on guitar, along with a horn section and string trio nicknamed the Horny Boys and the Wicked Strings, respectively.Before Brendon assumed full control of Panic!, the band was known for their quirky fashion sense, rampant stage gay antics, witty lyrics, and longer-than-life song titles (which were initially made as jokes but later abandoned for more traditional-length titles after Brendon began forgetting them onstage). Later on, the band name as helmed by Brendon became more famous for theatrical performances and aesthetic and a general shift in sound towards danceable pop with jazz influences. One trait consistent through both phases of the project is Brendon having a vocal range to rival Freddie Mercury.note Appropriately, they covered "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the Death of a Bachelor tour.Despite having moved away from any technical connection to emo music, they were often grouped by their fans as part of the "Holy Emo Trinity" along with Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance. They were also often included in the "Fueled-By Five" (five bands from their label, Fueled by Ramen), which also includes FOB, The Academy Is..., Gym Class Heroes, and Cobra Starship.Popular songs include "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", "This Is Gospel", "Emperor's New Clothes", "Say Amen" and "High Hopes". | |
