Killers! At The Disco

So now there are two Las Vegas acts vying for world domination and while there are lots and lots of differences between Brendan (P!ATD) and B-Flo, there are more than a few similarities too....

Brendan/Brandon ~ My my. How much difference a vowel makes. Certainly enough for every NME hack and online blogger writing about Panic! At The Disco to quadruple check their work in order to weed out any errant Brandons. And certainly - as an eye opening google search reveals (and I'm broad minded!) - enough to start the truly gutter minded on ream after ream of the perviest slash/fics. Crikey!


Mormons ~ One smokes, drinks and pinches Dave Keuning's arse to get the crowd going, wants Brucey as a sugar daddy and is dating Peter Wentz (cue dirty joke about *fall out* boy)! The other is a 19 year old tee total lothario-on-the-make. But at one point both believed in the intriguing religion of my upbringing known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Needless to say both dislike talking about it...



Fashion ~ Though they have not yet graduated to eyeliner, P!ATD are no shrinking vuilets when it comes to laying down the model for what the modern man should be wearing. B-Flo take note: it's your gran's broaches, sinfully tacky ties and waistcoats, waistcoats, waistcoats...



Music ~ Granted, with the reliance on buzzing synths and the constant melodrama for a good half of their debut, P!ATD will invite the odd Killers comparison. Although I did have a total WTF! moment when I read that Brendan Panic stated that they are inspired by the Counting Crows. Now i love Mr Jones as much as the next bender, but c'mon!

    i think the similarities are pretty superficial too and although i like a quick Panic! At The Disco, they are no Killers. Plus i was super amused to see that they were both raised Mormons ;)

    I knew Duran Duran and Brandon, you are no Simon LeBon.

    (I once chased Simon and Yasmin down King's Road, FYI!)
