Oh well, imagine me walking down the aisle past the pews
And I can't help it, all I can hear, no, I can't help it, all I can hear is an exchange of words
“What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!” says the bridesmaid to the waiter,
"And yes, what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore"

No, it's better to face such things with a sense of composure and rationality.

Well, actually, well, I'll look at it this way, technically our marriage is saved.
Well it calls for toast, so pour the champagne

I jump in and say, "Haven't you people ever heard to close the damn door?"
No, it's better to face such things with a sense of composure and rationality.

For a second, forget everything you already knew about Panic! At The Disco. This means forgetting that the band debuted in 2005 with Fever You Can "t Sold Out", which sold two million copies, and their video for the song "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" took first place on MTV and grabbed one of the music awards for best video in 2006, and finally erase from memory all the concerts that the band has played in the last three years, all radio station appearances, television programs and all press interviews.
The band's history can be started from the moment when twelve-year-old Ryan Ross was given a guitar for Christmas, and his friend and neighbor Spencer Smith persuaded his parents to buy him a drum kit. The two were also united by sympathy for the work of the Blink 182 group. Having gained musical experience, they performed cover versions of Blink 182 in schools, they decided that it was time to take up their own work, and invited classmates Brent Wilson (bass) and Brandon to join their future group Uri (vocals)
Creativity of the group was distinguished by some unpredictability - Panic! At the Disco mixed everything from guitar rock to dance techno rhythms in their songs. In 2005, they sent Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz a link to their song page in their Livejournal diary. Wentz liked what he heard and traveled to Las Vegas to meet the musicians. After getting to know them, he signed them to his own label. The band's debut album "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" was released in September 2005, after which the band immediately went to play concerts as part of various joint tours. And already in May 2006, Panic! At The Disco played their own shows throughout Europe. in the spirit David Bowie and Pink Floyd, Panic! At The Disco plan their shows in detail. At performances, they can be seen in circus costumes surrounded by acrobats.
In 2008, the band's second album, Pretty. Odd", in which the band experiments in every possible way with style and sound. It looks like the band members have dug into their parents' records, and you can hear Brian Wilson on their album, The Beatles, and the lesser known Zombies. The first single of the album "Nine In The Afternoon" (the video for this song was released even before the release of the album itself) with a clear Beatle influence, the country song "Pas De Cheval", the indie rock composition "Northern Downpour" - with these songs the guys seem to prove how they have grown from the first album.
"We tried to give each song a personality, writing them in such a way that they weren't like anything we'd written before," explains Ross.
The album was produced by Rob Mathers, who previously worked with Lenny Kravitz and Avril Lavigne.
Unlike the first album Pretty. Odd" was recorded almost entirely in the band's hometown of Las Vegas, with the final arrangement taking place at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.
“I hope you understand the idea of ​​Pretty. Odd", and you will immediately see the difference between our two albums, - says Ross, - give us a chance! I think a lot of our songs are more musical and original than most of what's on the top of the charts right now."
We can't help but agree, and we're sure you'll support us!

American rock band Panic! at the Disco was formed in 2004 in the suburbs of Las Vegas by school friends - vocalist and guitarist Ryan Ross and drummer Spencer Smith. Later, bassist Brent Wilson and guitarist/backing vocalist Brandon Urie joined the line-up. Uri later became the lead vocalist. The band's first material was songs. PATD did not perform, but tried to make demos. Soon, the musicians decided to quit their studies and focus entirely on music - as a result, Ross had a fight with his father, and Uri was kicked out of the house altogether.

Later, the musicians posted several songs on the Internet and sent a link to the bass player fall out Boy Pete Wentz. He, clearly impressed by what he heard, went to Las Vegas, where he personally (during rehearsals) made sure that PATD were a worthwhile team, and signed them to the new label Decaydance Records in December 2004. In addition to the Internet, it was Wentz who helped the team in every possible way advertised it. In the spring of 2005, the musicians went to the studio in pc. Maryland.

According to Ross, the studio sessions were hard, seven days a week, 12-14 hours a day. Naturally, the situation within the group could not help but escalate. However, debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was released in September 2005 and sold about 10,000 copies in its first week. The album itself in terms of material was divided into two parts - more synthetic and more lively. The group itself, shortly before giving its first concert, went on tour as part of the Nintendo Fusion Tour, along with fall out Boy, motion city soundtrack, The Starting Line and Boys Night Out. By the end of the year, the first PATD video for the song " I Write Sins Not Tragedies”, and sales exceeded 500,000. As a result, the disc became platinum, and the video received an MTV award. In May 2006, it was announced that bassist Wilson had been fired as insufficiently responsible and unwilling to develop, and John Walker became a new member of the band. The band toured extensively throughout the year and even performed at the Reading festival, where the musicians were pelted with bottles - Uri lost consciousness, but as soon as the vocalist came to his senses, the performance continued. At the end of the tour PATD focused on new material and went into the studio in May 2007 to work on their second album. After that, having traveled in the summer with concerts, the musicians suddenly decided to remake the already recorded material.

In early 2008, the group published a new logo without the exclamation mark, and new album Pretty. Odd. released in March, selling 54,000 copies on its first day and selling 139,000 copies within a week. Despite more moderate sales in the end, critics accepted new job better than the previous one. This was followed by another tour, which resulted in the release of a live album. Live In Chicago. The musicians themselves during the tour focused on environmental issues.

In the spring of 2009, Panic! at the Disco returned to the studio, but in July it was announced that Walker and Ross were leaving due to creative differences, but this did not violate the band's plans. The first song recorded without departed musicians " new perspective” sounded in the film “Jennifer's Body”. Soon the exclamation mark returned to the PATD logo, and in August 2009 the group, staffed by session musicians (Ian Crawford on guitar and bass guitarist Dallon Wicks), went to tour with Blink-182. The team, officially reduced to a duet of Uri and Smith, spent almost the entire 2010 on recording the third album, and in March 2011 the Vices & Virtues disc finally saw the light of the day and was well received by the public. PATD had been on tour for over a month now. Song " Mercenary"fell into the soundtrack for the video game Barman: Arkham City.
