A pop-rock band hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada that infuses a rather wide array of other elements into their songs.
They currently have one album out, entitled "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" which is split down the middle(this split marked by track 8, "Intermission") with the first containing very electronica-influenced futuristic sounding songs, and the second containing songs that sound older by means of use of vaudeville piano and accordion
The current line-up of Panic(as they are often abbreviated to) consists of:
Brendon Urie-Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard, Piano, Accordian, and organ
Ryan Ross-Guitar, Keyboard, Piano, Accordian, Organ
Brent Wilson-Bass
Spencer Smith-Drums and Percussion
The lyrics are written by guitarist Ryan Ross and are often more reminiscent of prose than traditional lyics or poetry, and contain many allusions to various facets of pop culture, in particular the writings of Portland satirical author Chuck Palahniuk. These allusions include:
-The second track of their album is called "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage" which is a line taken from Palahniuk's novel "Survivor"
-The sixth track on the album, entitled "Time To Dance", is said to be one big reference to Palahniuk's "Invisible Monsters"
-The song "London Beckoned Songs about Money Written By Machines" contains lyrics that start with "Just For the record, the weather today is...", this is verbiage very often used by the narrator of Palahniuk's novel "Diary"
Currently(2006-07) they've developed a large following, due in large part to the success of their single "I Write Sins Not Tragedies". This following is primarily composed of adolescents in the age brackets of 14-17, often the type of people which have widely been given the somewhat-derogatory nickname of "scene" or "emo". And as with most bands associated with, through their own doing or not, "Emo" or "Scene", the band experiences very much criticism and hatred, even if for the fact that these self-proclaimed critics really dislike them for the mere sake of rebellion.

They arn't really emo, people just see the video for "I write sins not tragedies" and say "ew person in black! EMO!". To judge an emo band, listen to the lyrics, stupid.
They don't really sound like fall out boy, in terms of their style etc. For one you can actually here what the lead of Panic! is saying, but I must say they have the same tone. I disagree with people saying they are un-talented or un-creative with music and lyrics. Their lyrics are quite sophisticated and have meaning if you listen without the constant thought of 'emo' going through your head. See the meaning of emo and then listen to Panic!, morons.
Also, the only credit they get is from their song 'I write sins not tragedies', but as another bloke said, people get annoyed because other people like the music and the band is getting some credit they deserve.

a band that was once praised by their home base fans for having such original music and rockin out their own way. however, their home base fans seemed to have been replaced with richy riches that can afford to buy 13 tickets to the panic! at the disco show and sing along to i write sins not tragedies and stand there the rest of the concert.
New Fan of P!ATD: Like, oh em gee! that one guy in panic! at the disco is sooo hot!!! isn't is name pete wentz? i cant wait to meet him at the concert. im going to look so scene!
Home Base P!ATD fan: uh.. you mean ryan? the guitarist..of panic at the disco? pete is the bassist of fall out boy. they look nothing alike. ..
New Fan: oh yeah him... oh... YAY!

A rock band orignating out of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Usually only known for their good looks, not their music.
Looking past that will show their exquisite lyrics, and great abilities as a band.
