Panic Bomber is a new breed of dance floor innovator who is quickly attracting worldwide praise. The brainchild of Richard Haig, a Miami-based musician who graduated with a degree in Music from the University of Miami, and cut his chops playing in a variety of indie rock and punk bands. The music is instantly appealing, familiar to electronic music enthusiasts yet difficult to place in any one genre, incorporating elements of electro, tech-house, trance, pop, rock, IDM, or whatever else a particular piece calls for.

Panic Bomber’s breakout track “Smooth Sailor” was featured in the February 2009 sampler of Trax, France’s biggest electronic music magazine. The Miami New Times selected him as the “Best New Electronica Artist” in their Best of Miami 2009 issue in part due to debut EP Calling in Threats. His LP released Dec 2009, Getting on My Mind, received a number of “Best Album of 2009″ accolades. PB released the Discipline EP on Canadian label YYZ Records in March 2010 to critical acclaim from the likes of Big Stereo and picked up another “Best Album” win from New Times. Getting on My Mind was re-released by YYZ and distributed with the title music video at the end of 2010. On track for 2011, Panic Bomber will be releasing the Domestic Violins EP in late spring and his new album Captive Audience in the late summer. He has remixed Family of the Year, Kidstreet, Jeremy Glenn, among others.

Panic Bomber is also the production man-behind-the-curtain for DJ outfit The Jackals, doing Hype Machine Top 10 remixes of artists including Phantogram, Yacht, and Kanye West.

Panic Bomber’s explosive shows include live vocals, keyboards, and often a 3-piece horn section. A February 2011 Toronto show with The Twelves had Now Magazine gushing PB “could have been mistaken for the headliner.” Notable performances include sold out shows in London, Glasgow, Toronto, and Miami; opening for Rihanna, MGMT, Ke$ha, La Roux, Skream, Skrillex, Big Gigantic, Designer Drugs, Twelves, The Juan McLean, Goldie and countless other; and appearances at two consecutive years at Ultra Music Festival, SXSW, Electric Forest, Sunfest, Pride Toronto, and the Yo Gabba Gabba Live show.
