Last week, Panic! at the Disco released a snippet of what they told their fans was “something for all of your patience over the last year.” The prize was a ninety-second clip from a new song called “We’re So Starving” that the band admitted would “undergo some change” when they headed to Abbey Road Studios this month to finish their sophomore record, due in March.

Fast forward to yesterday, when Pete Wentz (who signed the over-the-top Vegas quartet to his Decaydance imprint) put up a blog entry in defense of his pals: “Not too sure that anyone gets that the new Panic! song is a joke,” he wrote. “Sell me a sense of humor. The new record is different than whatever you are thinking.” What led to Wentz’s latest defense of the band? A chronology of recent Panic! developments (and a possible solution to the latest puzzle) after the jump.

• December 12th: After going completely blank, Panic! at the Disco’s official site is replaced by a Wheel of Fortune-style puzzle, solved two days later with the words “You Don’t Have to Worry.” On the same day, an open call for extras goes up for the video accompanying the new single, “Nine in the Afternoon,” which they performed live at several gigs during ‘07.

Las Vegas-based emo superstars Panic! At The Disco will decamp to London’s legendary Abbey Road studios later this week to work on the follow-up to 2005′s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out.

“[It's] truly is a dream come true for us,” said the band. “Over the next five days we will finish in the studio at home and make our way to Abbey Road Studios in London. There, we will record all of the strings, horns, whatchyamacallit’s, and so on. Then, we will mix the record at Abbey Road as well.”

Abbey Road was made famous in the 1950s, 60s and 70s by legendary British artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Dame Shirley Bassey and er, Cliff Richard.

The band’s as-yet-untitled new album will be released in the summer through Fueled by Ramen. However, if you can’t wait ’til then, they’ve posted a rough mix of new track Were So Starving on their MySpace page.

“This is not the final mix or version of the song,” they say.”It will undergo some change while we’re in London, but we wanted to show you something from what we’ve done so far. Hope you enjoy.” — kerrang.com

Here we go again. Panicatthedisco.com put up a new date – 01:10:08 – followed by another word puzzle with the set of four letters that make up the band’s initials. Care to guess what the other letters are?

From the latest falloutboyrock.com journal entry…

January 7, 2008
not too sure that anyone gets that the new panic song is a joke. sell me a sense of humor. the new record is different than whatever you are thinking.

There’s a new video up at FOE of Brendon sharing his New Year’s Resolution, watch it here.

It looks like Panic! at the Disco fans will have to wait until March 25 for the Las Vegas rockers’ sophomore LP, the yet-untitled follow-up to 2005′s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. But in the meantime, the band’s followers can preview what’s to come over at Panic’s MySpace page.

This week, Panic posted a rough demo of a new song, presumably from the forthcoming album, called “We’re So Starving” and, in a blog post, revealed that they’ll be wrapping things up at their home studio over the next five days. After that, it’s off to London, where the boys will record strings and horns for the record at the legendary Abbey Road Studios — which, according to the band, “truly is a dream come true for us.” The album will also be mixed at Abbey Road, the band said.

“We couldn’t be more excited to show all of you what we’ve been working on,” the post reads. “But before we do all that, we wanted to give you something for all of your patience over the last year.” The new track, which had gotten 45,000-plus plays by late Wednesday afternoon (January 2), is “not the final mix or version of the song, and it will undergo some change while we’re in London — but we wanted to show you something from what we’ve done so far.” Read the full article »
