--- 5 of 5 stars in review - WOXY Austin

"Panacea plays with every ounce of sweat, heart, and guts it takes to put on an incredible show. Watching them reminds me why I love music." - Austin Underground Music . COM

Bio
Panacea formed in September 2009 when John Thomas sought out three talented and diverse musicians who shared the unique vision of sharing "story" through music.
The band in its first year of infancy has made great strides appearing on TV Shows and Feature films, and their 7 song EP is due early summer 2010.
A typical Panacea concert is a paradox. Subtle rhythms pulse like heartbeats then quickly become driving dynamic floor fillers. Smooth pianos and melodic synths delve into the spacey darkness and return with cutting edgy leads. The guitars scream with angst ridden beauty and evolve into gritty rhythmic tones. Angelic vocals that carry an honest message and recreates the personal and universal story of life experiences.
Simply, 4 musicians who love music, who are dedicated to each performance, who strive to continue evolving, learning, and developing a real connection with any audience.
