Ohhhh Billy! I love discovering new music so much. I had never heard of Panic Problem and when their publicist sent over the new album I was immediately in love. Its so poppy and punky took me back to the late 90's (in a good way) Panic Problem is such a fun band but they have a serious undertone to a lot of the songs. They help bring light to mental health. While not wanting to be " THAT MENTAL HEALTH BAND" they mix up serious with the somewhat goofy.
