I Panic Unleashes Whimsical Rebellion in "Never Be My Wife" In a world saturated with two-dimensional love songs, I Panic serves up a delectable twist of fate with their latest single "Never Be My Wife". Imagine if you will, the rich nostalgia of classic rock married to the brooding soul of 80's post-punk—this is where our journey into nuanced commitment begins. https://open.spotify.com/album/6E8asrdryyvkr687ERyEHq As Marcel’s voice threads through the opening chords with a playful yet earnest timbre, we’re escorted into a narrative that challenges conventional romantic quests. Picture The Cure's Robert Smith swapping his morose cloak for an impish grin while wielding poignant lyricism; here lies the theatrical charm that propels "Never Be My Wife" beyond its musical kinfolk. It’s not hard to envision this track nestled among dimly lit pubs and vibrant dance floors alike—where guitar riffs play tug-of-war with heartstrings and synthesizer pads cradle us in nostalgic warmth. All this set upon the relentless heartbeat of driving bass lines evoking immortality reminiscent of Joy Division at their most rebellious peak. Yet what sets I Panic apart is not solely found within melodic echoes or genre crossovers—it lies in how effortlessly they navigate complex emotional landscapes. There’s audacious satire as they sing about societal shackles on romance with one hand, whilst carving out infinite possibilities for affectionate bonds with another.

If these tunes are siblings, then ‘Marry You,’ presumably sired by Valentine’s sentimentality shares DNA but certainly not spirit—with 'Never Be My Wife'. It prompts one to wonder just how these reimagined tracks alongside fresh sounds will continue shaping I Panic's artistic identity. Crafting music that bears autonomy from start-to-finish—songwriting through production mastered expertly by Headroom Mastering—I Panic reminds us why artist ownership resonates so deeply within indie culture: authenticity untainted by commercial fingers yields art both relatable and revolutionary. Splashed across our auditory palettes like Jackson Pollock wielding his brushstrokes against silence itself, “Never Be My Wife” captures cheeky rebellion without losing sight of tenderness—a harmonious paradox promising robust fervor in upcoming creations due at month's end. Await “Growing Up In Public” not merely listeners but seasoned travellers keen on taking defiant leaps into realms where love needn't adhere to ancient scripts. Embrace I Panic – chaos never sounded so divinely structured. Follow I Panic on Website, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter.

Writing songs is what I have been doing even before I could play an instument. And actually, a lot of what I learned on piano or guitar, came out of writing songs I wasn't able to play at the time of writing. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? The first concert I ever visited was Elvis Costello, in a solo concert in one of the bigger theaters in the Netherlands. I think I was 15 at the time - and I was blown away! How could you describe your music? As I blend many styles (even when it always has a 80's/90's vibe) I call it Alternative Theatrical Rock Describe your creative process. I don't have a fixed way. Sometimes a song just comes to me (for example while driving), sometimes it starts with just some improvisation on the piano and sometimes it's based on a line or quote I heard. However, I tend to start recording a song very early. And often I end up writing and finishing a song while recording it. https://open.spotify.com/artist/7ozpLiZQRPLIyntADTMicL?si=6CryZ041TxaPw5KWJUC Why did you choose this as the title of this project? Laughing, Talking, Loving started with a the first line of the verse and two chords on the piano. And while playing, the rest of the song arose almost by itself. After I finished the lyrics and basic music, I decided to use this title - even when I first called it Simple Things, but that felt too obvious to me :) What are your plans for the coming months? In January a next new single will be released (called "Never Be My Wife") and in february I will release an EP with 5 new recordings of previously released songs (and one yet unrelreased song as well). This EP is called "Growing Up in Public". What message would you like to give to your fans? Thank you so much for listning & playing my music! It means a lot to me and I would love hear what you think of it.
