About Panic At the Disco
American pop-punk duo Panic at the Disco are back in the UK this November. The band will be bringing their unique sound to Nottingham Rock City
on the 17th in support of their new album "Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!". Grab your tickets below.
Panic at the Disco formed in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2005. Since its split, the band's line-up includes Brendon Urie (lead vocals, guitar, piano) and Spencer Smith (drums). Former members Ryan Ross (guitar) and Jon Walker (bass) left the group in 2009.
The band has been described by critics as a variety of genres, most commonly pop punk, alternative rock, and baroque pop. The band formed and recorded their first demos while they were all still in high school. Shortly after, the band recorded and released its debut studio album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). Made known by the top ten lead single "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies", the album eventually was certified double platinum.
The group then recorded its second record, Pretty. Odd., released in 2008. Marked as a drastic change in tone from their debut, it oversold commercial expectations and was met with critical acclaim. Pretty Odd went RIAA Platinum in 2011.
The band released its third album, entitled Vices & Virtues, on March 22, 2011. The album's first single, "The Ballad of Mona Lisa", was released February 1, 2011.
