Panama Kings
Panama Kings are a band born of frustration. Theoretically formed at the start of 2007 as a respite for members of other successful Northern Irish acts, they started writing and gigging in earnest towards the end of the year, making a firm impression in double-quick time. With a few simple goals to keep it fun, fresh and to create an indie-rock-dance-party suitable for clubs every bit as much as live shows, the band refuse to acknowledge any form of industry pressure and are resolute in their manifesto. Already drawing comparisons with indie luminaries such as Modest Mouse, Pixies, and the Walkmen, Panama Kings employ razor-sharp Gang Of Four guitars over dance-rock rhythms, frenetic keyboards and just enough Sonic Youth noise to stay this side of melodic, with Niall Kennedy‚Äö Superchunk/ Flaming Lips-esque vocal style perhaps being the bands strongest suit.
