Panic Office
Panic Office are the Progressive/Experimental Rock band from Somerset, UK. Having formed in 2005 many changes have occurred in their line up to form who they are today. Originally started by Samuel Jones and Jack Cantwell, with the aim to create the metal music that Jack wanted to create and the mellow music Sam wanted to make their were obvious clashes from the beginning. This is obvious from their first three songs: "Beyond the Houses", "Falling Skies" and "Payment" (Originally "The Worst Is Yet To Come"). During the time of these songs the line up mainly consisted of Ben Redmond on Drums and Paul Taylor-Clinch on Bass however before Ben, Rob Channon had been the drummer for a short time and Pete had been bassist.
After the bands first two gigs however Paul Taylor-Clinch chose to leave the band in December 2005, being replaced by Sam Large, the current bassist. Pete also returned to the band as Synth and Piano player. Just after these changes in January 2006 work began on the final track of their only release to date: "They Were Silent". Over the next few months, however, Jack Cantwell (Last gig: 26th of August 2006) and Ben Redmon both left the band being replaced by Phil Shelly (Guitar) and George Bandwell (Drums). Leaving the line up as it is today. 2 new songs were written after these final changes to the line up "Ten8" and "No Spirit" which were finished along with "They Were Silent" for the first gig of the final line up in December 2006.
Since then the band has played around 30 more gigs and has self-released their album Ghost Music. The band are now working on new material ready for another release for 2008. Music from Ghost Music and reviews of the album can be found on their homepage. The band were also interviewed AbOUT The Release of their album on Jon Wisbey's BCFM Rock show.
