Release Information ::

Sing Sing are proud to announce the reissue of this Dutch masterpiece of punk rock from Amsterdam's Panic! Their debut release from '78 simply titled '13' is a powerful album of perfectly constructed, attitude-riddled punk numbers from start to finish. Nevermind the Sex Pistols references on the album cover, Panic aren't getting their sounds from Rotten & Co. but with songs like "He Can Come" and "13" we're sure they picked up a thing or two about vulgarity from those chaps. Panic's sound, however, is uniquely successful and no doubt plays a part in the albums reputation amongst collectors.

In working out the reissue, Peter Penthouse also sent us this amazing video from 1978! We posted this a while back but you might have missed it. Check it out here!



Bio / History ::

PANIC were from Amsterdam, Netherlands and formed in 1977 as a follow up to the short lived band “Big Peter and the Terrible Garage” (see poster on album cover). In 1978 PANIC’s LP 13 was released by two labels; first by Universe (red vinyl) and then by Ariola (black vinyl).

In July 1978 PANIC played in CBGB’s Club & CBGB’s Theatre in New York, making them one of the first European punk bands to play stateside. The latter performance was broadcasted live from coast to coast on WPIX-radio, including an interview after the show.
