10 Incredible 2000s Bands That Are Still Killing It
10. Panic! At The Disco
Panic! at the Disco's career trajectory has been nothing short of incredible. Reaching their peak success, headlining arenas and hitting No1 on the Billboard charts for the first time in 2018, the band broke through 14 years into their career. Panic! At the Disco have always been big, but they were big in the rock scene - now everybody knows their name.
Panic! have never been content in making the same record twice and as a result, they have a back catalogue that goes from sounding like The Beatles doing folk, to arena rock anthems and pop hits. They’re as much a part of the 2000s emo legacy as they are modern pop because of the way Brendon Urie follows his musical desires and evolves their sound.
The band have become very much ‘Brendon Urie’s band’ with him being the only remaining member and sole mastermind behind each album, but that’s fine, Urie is a powerhouse of a musician and an even better singer. If you learn anything from Panic!, it’s to always be your best self because the success you crave is only a step away.
