This is an exciting one. I don't know anything about this band except that they were signed to PRT records, released two singles between 1982-1983, and have a virtually ungoogleable name. Panic's first single is a very good new wave cover of The Zombie's "She's Not There" check it out below

Panic - She's Not There (1982)


The next year they followed that up with a WONDERFUL original synthpop single called "Ticket To The Tropics" which I've uploaded to Youtube just now.

Panic - Ticket To The Tropics (1983)


Ticket To The Tropics was written by Guinness/Monet, if that helps anyone figure out who these guys are. This single, as well as "She's Not There" was produced by David James for Quarterback Productions. Then, there's also this: http://www.discogs.com/Panic-Untitled/release/3086488 A 3 track red vinyl EP associated with Panic's Discogs page. I'm not sure it's them. The jpg's kinda fuzzy and I can't make out who wrote these songs. Does anyone have this?

Yet another UK synthpop band! There were so many it's almost no wonder most of them didn't succeed - not enough places in the chart! :D "She's Not There" is fantastic, though, should've been a hit. Would be great to have an mp3 of it...
