“Monumental…. Inspired… Explosive… Unstoppable” (GetReadyToRock)

PANIC ROOM are one of the hottest rock bands in the UK today, with 5 Award-Winning albums to their name + a reputation for delivering the most breathtaking Live shows.

Blazing their own trail with a deep and powerful sound - a fusion of rock, pop, indie, funk & eastern hypnotic grooves -
PANIC ROOM are equally as impressive on stage as in the studio.

--------------
ALBUMS:
--------------
The band’s last electric album - ‘Incarnate’ - hit the Top 10 of the Official Independent Album Charts.
Their previous 3 releases were all voted in the Top 5 ‘Albums of the Year’, in the official music press.

In 2015 PANIC ROOM recorded a semi-acoustic album - ‘Essence’ -which was funded by a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign.
Their first foray into ‘crowd funding’ proved so popular that the fans helped to smash their original target, and go on to double it!

‘Essence’ is both a retrospective and a brave album - taking older PANIC ROOM songs and reworking them with sparce acoustic arrangements, which exposes the heart and the quality of each track.
2 new songs were also composed for this album.

(Recorded & mixed at Sonic One Studios, Wales;
Mastered at Abbey Road, London).

‘Essence’ is available exclusively from the band’s Official Website: www.PanicRoom.org.uk

All other PANIC ROOM albums are available on general release:
from all good stockists, including Amazon and iTunes.

“Incarnate” (2014),
“SKIN” (2012),
“Satellite” (2010),
“Visionary Position” (2008).

THE BAND
----------------

Hailing from Wales, England and Singapore, the band’s influences are diverse and eclectic, which creates some unexpected twists and turns.

PANIC ROOM are fronted by Anne-Marie Helder - whose stunning voice and spellbinding stage presence have seen her win the title of ‘Best Female Vocalist’ (PROG Magazine) for 2 years running.

But this is a band of 5 world-class musicians, who all play an essential role in creating the PANIC ROOM magic.

Lead guitarist Dave Foster (with the band since 2015) has brought a fresh energy and power to the band, and is hugely experienced after working for many years with Steve Rothery (Marillion) and leading his own band, Mr So-and-So.

Bassist Yatim Halimi also works with Steve Rothery, and is one of the most celebrated and well-loved bass players in the UK.
(Winner of ‘Best Bassist’ 2014, CRS Awards).
Originally from Singapore, Yatim's CV also includes work with Toto, Simply Red, and Robert Palmer.

Drummer Gavin John Griffiths has earned his place as one of the most sought-after players in the UK today.
(Winner of ‘Best Drummer’ at the CRS Awards, 2013).
His other sessions have included work with Bill Nelson, Fish, and Mostly Autumn.

On Keyboards and co-songwriting, Jonathan Edwards is affectionately known as ‘The Maestro’, and his elegant playing is often cited as the ‘unsung hero’ in the unique PANIC ROOM sound.

Edwards and Helder are the core songwriting team in the band, but this is very much a collaborative team, with fresh influences coming in from each band member all the time.

Their unrivalled pedigree and awesome are clear in every performance;
but the band remain fully down-to-earth, joyful and fun in their approach to the music - and their fanbase ‘The Roomies’!

As Anne-Marie says:
“We take the music seriously... Not ourselves"


--------------------
THE FUTURE
--------------------

With their winning blend of pure talent, killer songs, hooky riffs, and mesmerising live performances....
PANIC ROOM are destined for huge things.

In 2018 the band will be writing and recording their 6th studio album, followed by a major UK & European Tour.
