…most house music strikes me as interchangeable in the moment, and totally disposable in the light of day. Miami’s Richard Haig, aka Panic Bomber, is changing all that. While his electro style is undoubtedly rooted in house, his background in indie rock bands and his degree in composition from Miami U give him the edge and theoretical skills to step outside the after-hours box to explore a wider range of possibilities. IDM beats, pop synths and experimental left turns like the jazzy horns in Can’t Sleep pepper this genre-expanding EP.

One listen to his debut solo electro-techno-disco concoction Getting on My Mind, and there’s no question Haig’s made the right move. He’s definitely a true madman on the synths: Check out his orchestral-electro work on “A Giant Tortoise.” But he also demonstrates a versatile vocal range too, going from piercing Bee Gees-style falsettos one minute to a baritone croon the next on the album’s title track. His accessible lyrics add a personal touch that will win over those pensive college radio types as well.

CWG Magazine:
A natural-born musician with a knack for tickling the ivories, one would never have expected Panic Bomber to experiment with a few bands or a few sounds … and end up the fiery success story he has become. Creating an endless wake of success, Panic Bomber has emerged as a well-known innovator itching to share his talents, and I suggest you climb on board for the ride – I did.

Toca musica electronica con influencia de Disco, Funk y Pop, es bien agradable! Cuando toca en vivo lo hace con una banda completa asi que el varón sabe como es la movida.

Ah, that quote sounds like it’s probably a compliment about the album! Merci!
Wait… hold on a second… what does this say?
We are pedophiles? What the hell? I swear her ID said she was older than eighteen.
Or perhaps I’m accused of loving people named Pedro.
