Alright so I’ve totally been in a blackhole of not blogging. My bad, dawg. I have, however, been all up on Twitter like what. So you’ve got a consolation prize.
My lovely manager, the infallible Paddy Scace is now posting here as well. Please enjoy his copy.
Here’s a round up of some select recent coverage.

I’m really digging the Jeremy Glenn Remix of “Perfection and Grace”. Richard knows me well as he thought this would be the track I would dig the most and he was absolutely right! An excellent dancefloor ready electro-pop tune that will fit perfectly into my DJ sets.

I’m posting this one because I find the comments to be hilariously non-committal. Entertaining ;)

He was kind enough to send a copy our way and as everything this man touches it is golden! All three tracks are solid! He just keeps pumping out them catchy electronic dance jams like he has an unlimited reservoir. My two favorites are ‘Discipline’ and the slow jam ‘Perfection and Grace’.

Miami New Times:
Discipline finds Haig finally relishing the electronic music genre and taking pride in the music he’s making — which he should considering he seems to have a natural talent for it. The title track alone is perhaps his best work to date. A house-y electro number that reaches its climax early and then turns into a glitchy electropop track, reminiscent of Calvin Harris.
In “Can’t Sleep” and “Perfection and Grace” you’ll find the live instrumentation and electro sounds that have sort of become Haig’s signature. This leaves us wondering if his next full-length might be the thing that tips him over the edge and earns him more national recognition. Let’s hope so.

The funny thing about press is that as soon as one publication talks about you, suddenly everyone else wants to talk about you. I believe there’s a peculiarly insular group think that seems to occur with music blogs. Hundreds of individuals dedicating their time to talking about what they like, yet often times they end up talking about the same stuff. Sometimes this can have disastrous implications, a race to the bottom of quality as trends take over *cough* dreamwave, dubstep *cough*. To quote my good friend Brian Robertson of ANR, “blogs are the Fox News of music.” Not always the case but it seems like us musicians are often desperate to get fifteen-year-olds in their bedrooms to write about us. Oh my, how the industry has turned.
Anyway, the Discipline EP has been getting a little bit of blog heat recently since Big Stereo spoke about it the other day. Here’s a brief summary of some of the coverage:
Electronic Rumors
The ‘Discipline EP’’s title track is a genre crushing Nu-Disco/SynthPop/Acid Techno stormer. A hard and dark bassline propels the track forward and counterpoints the catchy vocals, and that’s before it goes crazy with Acid builds!

I call it indie-electro, but the harder kind. Maybe electro-indie (the first name is always the major driver, right?). Well, whatever he is, I like it. Panic Bomber is definitely a guy to watch for this year.

Hey kids, just wanted to give you a heads up. I’m moving web hosts at the moment and I believe I’m doing everything correctly but if there are any hiccups over the next few days, I apologize.
To keep yourself entertained in the meantime, you can check out this little program I wrote and posted over at the Atomisk blog. It’s nifty and handy and reminds you to save your work. Enjoy!

They don’t have much to say outside of announcing that the Discipline EP is available now on YYZ Records and embedding “Discipline” for all to hear, but it’s awfully nice of them to say “hello!”
