Press in Toronto – March 31, 2011

You’d be forgiven for thinking all the songs on Panic! At the Disco’s latest album, Vices & Virtues, are about girls. For one, there are plenty of songs for the ladies on the pop-rock band’s third LP (released March 22); according to a few stories, frontman Brendon Urie even wrote album track “Sarah Smiles” to win over his girlfriend with its jangly charms. But there’s more to Vices & Virtues than singing about getting — or losing — the girl.

“A lot of the songs that sound like they’re about a girl, are about the band,” says Urie.

The singer, 23, is telling the record’s origin story at Toronto club the Rivoli, his exuberance frequently punctuated with chuckles. His serious (but only by comparison) bandmate, drummer Spencer Smith, sits beside him. And in case you haven’t been paying attention to Panic! since their previous record — the ‘60s-pop inspired Pretty. Odd. (2008) — Urie and Smith are now the sum of Panic!’s parts. The former four-piece was distilled to a duo after the departure of original members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker in 2009.

“It’s kind of funny because the analogy is used so much — that a band is like a marriage, you know,” Urie says. “You break up and it’s the divorce, and you’ve got to split custody and divide everything up and decide what’s going on. So we wanted to talk about it [on the record].” Read the full article »

With the departure of founding members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker, the pressure was on Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith to carry the Panic! at the Disco flag forward, high and proud. So they enlisted some musician friends (Dallon Weekes and Ian Crawford) to help play and a couple more (John Feldmann of Goldfinger and Butch Walker of Marvelous 3) to help produce what became Vices & Virtues. That new Panic! at the Disco album blends many of the best aspects of the band’s two previous albums into a new spin on their sound. A couple of days before the album was released (and became a Top Ten entry onto the US album charts), Buzzine sat down for a chat with Brendon and Spencer at the Sheraton Hotel in Austin, TX during the SXSW Music Festival.
