Panic At The Disco Are Like A 'New Band'

Panic At The Disco have explained that dropping their exclamation mark was key to the band’s reinvention for their second album.

The formerly flamboyant rockers say they are like a "new band" on their new LP ‘Pretty. Odd.’, which is marked by their minor - yet deeply symbolic - name change.

Ryan Ross explains to Reuters, “Dropping the exclamation point was our way of drawing a line in the sand.

"We have a new record and we feel like a new band. We were all tired of it, and we went ahead and got rid of it."

The band‘s close buddy Fall Out Boy‘s Pete Wentz, a tab more lyrically, offers, "This is going to be like when Kiss took of their makeup.”
