Phil McRackin
I love panic office. Theres nothing better than waking up in the morning turning on your computer and listening to a bit of panic office. I love that guy who plays the guiar.That sam jones is a bit of a looker too. he could bang on my drums anyday of the week if you know what I mean.

Cheryl Tweedy
Panic Office are our main influence. Hopefully we can gig with you one day...

Peter
Panic Office are right good live. I've never properly seen them, but playing with them is amazing, and doing a proper gig sometime would be pretty amazing. We do need to update this page though, becuase Paul aint in it anymore. And Phil, thanks for liking us, but most of us in the band detest emo (apart from jack) and aim to create the opposite of emo. Or, in all seriousness, I want a band where I can go to town on my synthesizer!

phil

These guys were quite good when I saw them at the Imperial. I was there to watch Clouded Skies, but you guys were great. Would be nice to see you guys doing some gigs in Bristol.

Pete Jewkes
Great band, pauls actually left now, so I'm back in it! Yeah, playing synth instead of bass , while they look for another bassist.

Joe
I saw these guys play at The Imperial, and they rocked. All the other bands were a bit stage stunned, but these guys looked like pros, and they have only played 2 gigs prior to that one.
