With an illustrious career that has spanned over 15 years, The Panics continue to be an act that define the contemporary Australian indie and alternate sound with their unique voice and perspective.

‘Hole In Your Pocket' is the band's 5th studio album and is set to be released in Australia, October 7 via Dew Process / UMA.

Unlike 2011's Rain On The Hummingwire, which was written, recorded & mixed in New York, ‘Hole In Your Pocket', was produced by the band on home soil, in their studio in Melbourne.

Laffer's songs include tales of suburbia, racism, community displacement and climate change. He drew from journal entries from his life for inspiration to create an album filled with new characters and landscapes. There is the same sense of nostalgia and imagery of Australia's vast plains, and sometimes unforgiving landscape that has been a staple of their career and linked them to iconic acts like The Triffids, The Go Betweens and Nick Cave. But ‘Hole In Your Pocket' filters it all through a majestic union of sound and poetry to create a movie both strange and eerily familiar, instantly arresting in its melodies and images but slow to reveal every layer of shared experience.
