About Panic! At the Disco
Panic At The Disco New Songs 2018
One of the biggest acts to emerge out of the emo movement of the mid-2000s, Panic! At the Disco transcended their early fame, transforming into a vehicle for singer Brendon Urie's charismatic, cross-pollinated brand of pop. Championed from the start by fellow emo-pop favorites Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco found success on MTV and on the charts with the wordy, hyperkinetic anthem 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' from their 2005 debut, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. However, their follow-up, the '60s psychedelia-influenced Pretty. Odd., split fans and critics, and found them beginning a creative journey that would also bring lineup changes. Urie and co-founding drummer Spencer Smith pushed the band's sound toward synthy, '80s-style new wave and dance-punk on 2011's Vices & Virtues, and expanded into a swaggering blend of electronic pop, hip-hop, and R&B on 2013's Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! With the departure of Smith in 2015, Urie took the helm as the sole original member and mastermind behind the band's sound. Despite the changes and ever-evolving music scene, Panic! At the Disco have retained a loyal following and remain creatively engaged, scoring chart-topping albums with 2016's Frank Sinatra-influenced Death of a Bachelor and 2018's Pray for the Wicked.
Formed in 2004, Panic! At the Disco came together when high-school friends Spencer Smith (drums) and Ryan Ross (guitar) began covering blink-182 tunes together. After tiring of playing another group's material, they recruited two additional classmates, guitar/vocalist Brendon Urie and bassist Brent Wilson, and the newly formed quartet decided to model their name after a line in Name Taken's 'Panic.' Crafting pop-influenced songs with theatrical touches, quirky techno beats, and perceptive lyrics, Panic! At the Disco posted several demos online that caught the attention of Decaydance Records, the Fueled by Ramen imprint headed by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. Even though Panic! At the Disco had yet to play a live show, they subsequently became the first band signed to Wentz's label.
With their record scheduled for release in September 2005, Panic! At the Disco joined the successful Nintendo Fusion Tour and hit the road alongside Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack, Boys Night Out, and the Starting Line. The band continued touring into early 2006, while their single 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' found its way onto MTV and the Billboard Top 40. Proving to be a popular lineup, the Nintendo tour consistently sold out venues across the country. Wilson was fired from the group mid-year; undaunted, Panic! continued with their friend Jon Walker on board for a full summer tour that culminated with appearances at Lollapalooza and the Reading and Leeds Festivals. The guys picked up a Video of the Year award at MTV's annual VMA ceremony, beating out heavy-hitters like Madonna and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a collector's box set version of Fever (featuring random Panic! paraphernalia and a DVD) came out just in time for the 2006 holiday season.
After additional tour dates, the bandmembers announced that they were eliminating the exclamation point from their name, a sign that seemed to foreshadow the mature, less emo-driven rock featured on Pretty. Odd. Released in March 2008, the sophomore album peaked at number two in the U.S. and showcased an evolving band whose tastes had grown to encompass the Beatles' psychedelic pop. The group supported the album with another round of shows, one of which was captured on the CD/DVD release ..Live in Chicago. The band took a hit in June 2009, though, when Walker and Ross left the lineup in order to form their own band, the Young Veins. Urie and Smith soldiered on in the studio as a duo, though they did fill the holes in their touring lineup with Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes. In 2011, they released their third studio album, the John Feldmann and Butch Walker-produced Vices & Virtues.
Two years later, the band returned with Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! Once again produced by Walker, the album was inspired by Urie's hometown of Las Vegas and featured a title borrowed from Hunter S. Thompson's classic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. An eclectic album that showcased Urie's interest in hip-hop and electronic music, it was also the first album to feature Weekes in the studio. After several live shows in 2013, Smith announced he was leaving the band's tour, citing his ongoing substance abuse issues.
By 2015, Smith officially announced he had left the band. Around the same time, Weekes' position was once again downgraded to touring member. With Urie at the helm, Panic! At the Disco finished out the year by releasing the singles 'Hallelujah,' 'Victorious,' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes.' All of the songs were included on the band's fifth studio album, 2016's Death of a Bachelor, which featured co-production from Urie and longtime engineer Jake Sinclair. The album debuted at number one in the U.S. and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Album. A tour followed, resulting in a concert album in 2018. Also that year, Urie returned with the full-length Pray for the Wicked. Once again produced by Sinclair, it featured the singles 'High Hopes,' 'King of the Clouds', and 'Say Amen (Saturday Night),' the latter of which became the group's first number one single. ~ Corey Apar

Panic! At the Disco will release their sixth studio album, Pray For the Wicked, on June 22nd via Fueled By Ramen/DCD2 Records. Singer/band leader Brendon Urie previewed the LP with a pair of upbeat singles, “Say Amen (Saturday Night)” and “(Fuck A) Silver Lining” – with a cartoonish, violent clip accompanying the former track.
The “Say Amen” video serves as the final installment of a visual trilogy – a prequel to Panic! at the Disco’s clips for earlier singles “This Is Gospel” and “Emperor’s New Clothes.” The piece follows Urie as an outlaw as he protects “The Devil’s Key,” an ancient and valuable Mayan artifact, from a crew of burglars. The singer murders them in a variety of absurd, Tarantino-esque ways – from chopping off their hands to setting off dynamite. Urie’s girlfriend comes over after the bloodbath, but even their make-out session turns sinister.

Both of the new songs find Urie in full-on stadium-pop mode, belting euphoric hooks over grooves that veer between hip-hop and electronica. “Say Amen (Saturday Night)” is built on a dizzying swirl of synth-strings and pitch-shifted vocal samples, and “(Fuck A) Silver Lining” utilizes distorted bass and brass.
Urie worked with producer Jake Sinclair on Pray For the Wicked, which is available now to pre-order. In a statement about the record, the singer recalled the joyous recording sessions, which followed his lengthy stint performing in Cyndi Lauper’s Broadway musical Kinky Boots.
“After being away in New York for months doing Kinky Boots, I just wanted to hang out at home when I got back to LA,” he said. “I was so revved up that I asked some friends to come over to my home studio to help me write about all the incredible things I’ve experienced the last couple of years. “Pray For The Wicked is my ‘thank you’ to our fans and the most fun I’ve ever had making album.”
Panic! At the Disco will promote the album on a U.S. arena tour, which launches July 11st in Minneapolis, Minnesota and concludes in their hometown of Las Vegas on August 18th. Fans who pre-order the LP via the band’s webstore before March 29th at 9 p.m. ET will gain access to a special ticket presale beginning March 30th at 9:30 a.m. local time. General tickets will be available the same day at noon.
The band extended their North American tour with a second leg for 2019. The trek will pick up January 10th in Buffalo, New York and wrap February 20th in Sacramento, California. Fans for pre-order Pray for the Wicked via the group’s webstore before June 21st at 7 p.m. ET will receive a unique pre-sale code allowing first ticket access; the pre-sale will begin June 22nd at 9 a.m. local time, and general tickets will be available starting June 22nd at noon local time via the band’s website.
