Snarky, high-voltage punk from Cardiff that turns everyday annoyances into jagged anthems. Raw energy for anyone tired of the status quo.
Panic Shack sounds like a chaotic, brilliant night out where the conversation is sharp and the music is loud. Their sound is built on a foundation of jagged, scuzzy guitars and a rhythm section that feels like it's perpetually leaning forward. It is unpolished by design, favoring the immediate impact of a well-placed shout or a repetitive, infectious riff over studio perfection.
What truly sets them apart is their lyrical lens. They tackle the mundane and the infuriating with a specific brand of Welsh wit, turning topics like 'meal deals' or unwanted attention into high-stakes punk manifestos. There is a sense of camaraderie in the noise; you can hear the fact that they learned their instruments together, creating a chemistry that is more about shared attitude than technical flash.
Start with 'Baby Shack' to get the full breadth of their 'crank wave' energy. It is the perfect entry point for their blend of deadpan delivery and explosive choruses. It's music for the moments when you want to feel powerful, annoyed, and entertained all at once.
Panic Shack are a Welsh band, formed in 2018 in Cardiff. The band consists of Sarah Harvey (lead vocals), Meg Fretwell (guitar, backing vocals), Romi Lawrence (guitar, backing vocals), Emily Smith (bass) and accompanied by Nick Doherty-Williams on drums.
