Some of you may have noticed the inactivity within the Panel camp of late… well, after seven years we've decided to call it day. It was a mutual decision between all of us, and despite it being hard for us all to admit, we felt as though this was the right thing to do; all coming to the same conclusion that we had taken Panel as far as our 'boring' lives would allow. To look at it in a more positive light, this allows us now to explore other musical avenues outside the confines of Panel.

Generally we've had a blast playing hundreds of great shows with loads of great bands, but also a lot of frustration and false starts. We've been lucky enough to record a significant amount of material, most of which has featured on releases and or been played on local and national radio. We never expected to achieve half of things that we did, but at the same time we hoped that we could have done more. One of our biggest regrets has to be that we didn't get the opportunity to release our most recent material (with exception to It's Airborne! ), which we believe is the strongest material we've recorded to date. However, we do hope to get some more of the new songs, and possibly some old ones on here soon. So, keep checking back and keep the memory of Panel alive!!!

A final show has been arranged for Monday 20th August at Cardiff Barfly with some good friends in tow. It'll mean the world to us to see some of you there. Obviously we'll have our remaining merch at the gig, so come get yourself a bargain!

On behalf of myself and the rest of the band, I just want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone who's helped us in any way shape or form, every single band we've had the privilege of playing with, and everyone who's supported and encouraged us over the last seven years. THANKYOU.

Much love,

Daf, Dan, Jason and Mark
