Artist Biography
This is Panic Number, a mix of cutting riffs, vast sonic-scapes and pulsing beats worth getting sweaty to. The musical paths of the bands four members had crossed on many occasions whilst performing in other guises all over the UK, before finally merging to create the electronica garnished pop-savy indie rock of Panic Number. The band emerged at the start of 2007 with a newly completed full length album in their pocket (due to be released September 17th on Lockjaw Records), and a burgeoning live show ready to be unleashed on an unwitting public.

You can now order your copy of Panic Number's debut album and have it delivered to your door. From The Low is available online from www.lockjawrecords.co.uk/shop, www.play.com, www.amazon.co.uk and www.plastichead.com so head over to one of those now to secure your copy.

"For anyone who prefers something more challenging than your straightforward guitar, bass and drums set up, then maybe Panic Number are the band for you. Offering something a little more diverse than your average no-frills rock combo, Panic Number augment solid guitar-driven songs with layers of sequenced keyboards and electronic rhythms, giving the band a soaring electronic edge. Panic Number's trump card is that they don't go over the top, allowing neatly sculptured synthetic nuances to float gently over the band's gritty guitar backdrop only when it suits. The result is a repertoire of songs which are as exciting as they are unpredictable." (wunderbar.co.uk)
