Last year the singer and drummer of panic! released the excellent “New perspective” single. A froth pop rock blast of fresh air. Just now I streamed the half of panic who left, the bassist and guitarists -going by the some what yucky name Young Veins , first offering, the ridiculously named “Blue Veins (Die Tonight)” and I can’t say I am even vaguely thrilled by it. Here is part of the Spin review. I quote it because it is kinda terrifyingly crappy writing: “The track opens with a snappy drum roll and sparkling guitar combo, then explodes in an sunny sing-along with Ross hitting the high notes”.
Most of that isn’t really rtrue either. It is a bit of a guitar plod with none of the win and whimsy of old panic!.
Maybe the new upcoming album take a vacation will prove better.
