Taking their cue from the new album's title, the band have striven forward defiantly through their first album ('Bitter Part of Me') and their intense live shows have won them acclaim, admiration and new fans from all over the world, their reputation as a world class live act is unquestionable. 'We're a live band first and foremost, we're entertainers and we do a damn fine job, we play every show with hunger and voraciously whether we're first or last on the bill ' says vocalist Luke Bell. Three years of touring the UK, Ireland and Europe has oiled the machine that is Panic Cell; the band have taken new found maturity and poured it into 'What Doesn't Kill Us'. 'Having had the luxury of coming off tour and spending time in pre-production for these new songs, something we couldn't do with the first album and Panic Cell sound all the better for doing it" says bassist Bobby Town. Panic Cells evolution comes as no surprise when looking at the top international class of bands they have toured with on their first release: U.S Billboard No.1 artists Disturbed and Staind, Mudvayne, Devildriver, SOiL, Drowning Pool, ILL Nino, Testament, American Head Charge and many more. 'We've had the privilege of playing with many a great band, literally world class acts that has ensured every night we go out on stage we've had to raise our game, giving the crowd one hell of a show.' says drummer Rob Hicks. One hell of a show is very apt for the bands recent set at the Download Festival 2007 with many people believing this one of the main highlights of the festival. A packed out tent with outside standing room only is testimony to Panic Cells pulling power and longevity. Most astonishing of all, everything Panic Cell had achieved to this point was as an unsigned band.
Panic Cell's already worldwide tour history is nothing short of extensive, from Bloodstock 04 in the UK, the Most Wanted Tour in the UK, The SXSW (South by South West festival in Austin, TX, Bloodstock Open Air, Mudvayne UK Tour, UK Festival Download 2005, Wacked Open Air Festival in Germany, UK tours with Disturbed, Breed 77, Ill Nino, Soil, Staind, Flyleaf, Children of Bodom, Skindred & American Head Charge, just to name a few. The band was due to commence a 3 week tour with Kittie & Dope on July 2nd of this year, but have had to pull out of the tour due to US visa's not being finalized in time. The band is currently working with their booking agent, TKO, on new US Tours for 2008/2009. The band's current itinerary can be viewed at www.paniccell.com.
