Panic Shack - Panic Shack

Panic Shack bring a riotous energy to everything they do. Formed in 2018 as a response to the stale, gatekept corners of indie and punk, they’re a band on a mission to make music fun again. With Sarah Harvey on vocals, Meg Fretwell and Romi Lawrence on guitar, Em Smith on bass, and Nick Williams on drums, their lineup is as tight-knit as their sound is loose-limbed. Their shows are a burst of scrappy, joyful defiance – part punk gig, part choreographed chaos, equal parts Go-Go’s and Iron Maiden.

Though they released little music early on, Panic Shack earned a loyal following through electric live performances alone. Their approach is unfiltered and irreverent, cutting through the noise with attitude, hooks, and a sense that none of this needs to be taken too seriously. It's this gleeful sense of mischief that gives their songs real bite – catchy, shout-along punk with a wink and a boot to the establishment.
