In a recent stop in Toronto, Press+1 sat down with Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith of Panic! at the Disco. In part one of our interview, we talk to them about their third album Vices & Virtues and their video for The Overture. In part two of our interview, we talk to them about Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, their new tour members, March Madness, and Rebecca Black.
Since exploding onto the scene in 2005 with their debut album, “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out,” Las Vegas band Panic! at the Disco has experienced a fair amount of drama. Over the three years since the follow up to their debut album, the group experienced somewhat of an identity crisis. This coincided with criticism of their Beatles-inspired follow-up album, the departure of two band members and the overhyped drop of the exclamation point from the band’s name.
