Panic! on the Disco is a pop rock/electronica band founded out of Las Vegas, Nevada. The band is comprised of Brendon Urie (vocals, guitar, keyboard) and his formative years chum, Spencer Smiths (drums), such as their schoolmate, Ryan Ross (guitar, keyboard, backing vocals).
Featured in Spin magazine as their band of the day in early October 2005, achieving #1 at the MySpace chart, and invariably staying in PureVolumes Top 10 chart, might only help grow the bands recognition. An visual appeal on MTVs TRL on January 17, 2006, at the top of the line in their music video for I Write Sins Not Tragedies, additionally helped garner the band a great deal exposure.
To date, the bands 2005 debut album, A Fever you Cant Sweat Out has sold over 750,000 instruments. The band is these days headlining a North American summer journey with The Dresden Dolls and The Hush Sound, a band also signed to Decaydance.
