One of the biggest acts to emerge out of the emo movement of the mid-2000s, Panic! At the Disco transcended their early fame, transforming into a vehicle for singer Brendon Urie's charismatic, cross-pollinated brand of pop. The band was formed in 2004 by childhood friends Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith and Brent Wilson.
Panic! Panic! The Disco formed in 2004 and released their debut studio album 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' in 2005. The title song 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' from the album was double platinum-certified. The group released 'Pretty. Odd.' in 2008. However, two of the members left the group because they preferred the separate approaches of the group. Left with two members, Urie and Smith, the band released a single called 'New Perspective' which became a movie soundtrack for 'Jennifer's Body.' In 2013, Urie, Smith, and Dallon Weeks released their album 'Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die.' Smith formally left the group in 2015, and Weeks returned to being a tour member, leaving Urie the last member of the official lineup. In 2018, Urie released the album 'Pray for the Wicked' and received a host of awards and positive reviews.
