Infectious, intense, low-slung rock, GIN PANIC’s hugely dynamic and colourful live show has been finding its way around London for the past four years and has recently been captured on the band’s first album, Moved By Remote.
The band have developed a sound that mixes the jerky paranoia of New York punk and the fractured distraction of angular post rock to produce an exciting, heavier than hell sonic assault.
GIN PANIC was formed in early 1999 by Alex Robertson and Kerrie McEvoy whilst at University in Stafford where they subsequently met drummer Mono. Frustrated by a lack of any live scene in the town, they created their own which lead a variety of other bands out of their respective closets along the way. They decamped to London in 2001 and, enlisting the help of Alex's sister Kate, completed the line-up that has now been making music for the past four years - Alex Robertson (vocal/guitar), Kate Robertson (guitar/vocal), Kerrie McEvoy (bass/vocal) and Mono (drums).
Their expressive and compelling performances, coupled with surprising cross-genre appeal, consistently generate a 'love-at-first-listen' reaction with their audience. Earlier demo recordings have prompted comments such as; 'stunning, a glorious soundscape' from Xfm's Claire Sturgess when the band's 2003 EP featured on her show. Other tracks have seen airplay via BBC Local Radio and various web casts and have been similarly well received by both the public and media alike. Encouraged by this success the band set about writing their debut album in earnest during 2004.
By the end of that year GIN PANIC had recorded 'Moved by Remote' at Grouse Lodge residential studios in Ireland (Muse, Doves, Manic Street Preachers), with engineering skills and financial backing from producer Julien Whyte. Ambitious with their approach to the recording, the subsequent intense three-day session produced ten solid tracks that echo the bands live show.
