"Panic Years aren’t your indie-rock/blog-rock trendy band of the moment, which make them even more appealing. They’re a straight up alternative & punk influenced band that know how to write some great songs and play like they mean it!"
- Program Director, WXPN
"Panic Years may be fairly new to the scene but they came to Philadelphia with a purpose… once you hear them you will know exactly what it is. There is a rare blend happening here." - Music Director - Radio 104.5, Philadelphia
"Sparing us of any sort of hipster trend du jour, this Philly four-piece are actually quite traditionalist, dispelling brisk, churning guitar-rock crafty enough to hover just below the mainstream radar, wielding a modest indie aesthetic. " - The Big Takeover
"['Sea Change'] is a great, great track...really great sound to it" - Host of "Anything Anything" - WRXP, New York
"Raspy punk rock vocals with spaced out indie rock riffs. Picture the wild unpredicatbilty of Pixies, the spaced out jams of Stars or Hum, and the screaming to sing-a-long vocals of post punk/pre-emo bands... This band makes it work." - Y-Rock on XPN
"With a sound reminiscent of Silversun Pickups and Pixies, Panic Years puts a contemporary spin on the best of 90’s alternative, centered around Everett’s gritty made-for-rock vocals." - TheDeliMagazine.com
"Indie rock, refreshing & real, no glitz or nonsense; this 5-song Demo EP won't have the Panic Years without a record label for much longer. Check them out now." - Justin Luczejko - Editor in Chief
"Panic Years gives you catchy and likable one-listen power-chord pop songs. Lots of energy and raw power."
- 106.1 FM The Corner, Charlottesville, VA
"Panic Years is a band ready to make an impact on the alternative music scene.... strong hooks, high energy and relatable lyrics make Panic Years a band to watch in 2009." - 100.3 The Sound/LA, Assistant Program Director/Music Director
