Panic! At The Disco

Like them or loathe them, it's pretty much incorrect to say that Las Vegas foursome Panic! At The Disco haven't made an impact on the music industry since they formed in 2004. After Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz saw the group at a rehearsal session, he decided to sign the group to his Fueled By Ramen imprint of Decaydence Records. On original release, the group's first album, September 2005's A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, was not a commercial success, as there had been no physical singles prior to the album (the only pre-album single, The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage, was radio-only). However, with the release of February 2006's I Write Sins Not Tragedies and May's But It's Better If You Do, the group got ever-increasingly more popular, with the album eventually selling 2.2 million copies globally. Bassist Brent Wilson left the band shortly after BIBIYD was released, and was swiftly replaced by Jon Walker. The penultimate physical single, August's Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off, charted at #39 on the UK Singles Chart before a re-issue of IWSNT hit #25 in October. The final single, March 2007's Build God, Then We'll Talk, was the last single of the first P!ATD era, as the group dropped the exclamation mark for their follow-up album, saying they didn't feel that it was part of the name. A whole album was scrapped during recording sessions in 2007, with the first single from the new album, Nine In The Afternoon, released in January 2008 to commercial acclaim; upon its release in the UK in March, it hit #13; their highest position so far. The album, the more folk-orientated Pretty. Odd., was first released in the Netherlands on 21st March, with the remaining countries issuing the album in the following 8 days (although Japan issued it in April); overall critical acclaim for the "new" Panic was much improved over the last album. Mad As Rabbits was released as a digital-only single 4 days after the first release, with the second physical single, That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed), following in May. The last PATD-era single, Northern Downpour, was released in October. This was followed up by the ...Live In Chicago CD/DVD set in December. Early July 2009 saw Ryan Ross and Walker quit the band and formed their own group, The Young Veins, citing musical differences as the reason for the split. The exclamation was introduced back into the band name, and the first new single from the second P!ATD era was late July's New Perspective, released as part of the soundtrack to the film Jennifer's Body.
