Formed in Fall 2016, Stretch Panic is a 3pc garage-rock, ghoul-pop, unicorn-twee, dork-wave band out of Austin, TX that likes to dress like cartoons and sing about vampires. The band's sound is a witch's brew of riot girl post-punk, 60s throwback, and 90s quirk; a cutie-pie frankenstein of groups like The Slits, The Raincoats, The Shangri-las, and The Unicorns, all sewn together with wicked giggles and wacky antics. Be warned, although you may hear happy go-lucky melodies, they disguise the often morbid themes of monsters, demons, and buckets of blood. A Stretch Panic live show is a complete ice cream swirl of weirdo fun that will haunt you silly.

Stretch Panic has nationally toured in support of their 2017 EP "Ghost Coast". The band has built up a strong base in Austin, and frequently performs in other towns around Texas. Their single, "Spirit Juice" was released fittingly Oct. 31st 2019. Recorded at King Electric Studios in Austin, Stretch Panic's debut full length album, "Glitter and Gore" will be released Spring 2020.

"Fun, poppy garage rock songs about vampire infatuation and occult crushes, Stretch Panic’s sound bypasses the usual earworms and invades the brain with an inescapable, infectious sound." -The Austinot

"Sugar, spice, and everything nice seem to be the secret formula for the talented people behind Stretch Panic. With their vibrant aesthetic and high energy jams fueled on glitter and rainbows, this pop outfit combines sunshine with garage rock creating a pure DIY sound." - Do512
