Panic Room

Panic Room is a Welsh progressive rock band founded by former Karnataka members Paul Davies, Jonathan Edwards, Gavin Griffiths, and Anne-Marie Helder; along with bassist Alun Vaughan, in 2006. History Panic Room released their debut album Visionary Position in early 2008. In August 2009, it was announced that pre-orders were being taken for their upcoming second studio album Satellite. A UK tour followed through September, October and November 2009 supporting the upcoming release of Satellite. The pre-release version was released in December 2009 with the retail copy released in early 2010. The album was available in a single disc version and also as a special edition with an extra disc entitled Little Satellite' containing 4 extra songs recorded at the Satellite sessions. On 28 July 2010 it was announced on the band's website that founding bass player Alun Vaughan had left the band and had been replaced by Yatim Halimi. On 4 March 2013, Paul Davies left the band for personal reasons. Touring commitments were fulfilled with Morpheus Rising guitarist Pete Harwood filling the void left by Davies. Following the culmination of the tour, Swansea musician, Adam O'Sullivan, was drafted in as a session guitarist for the recording of the band's fourth album, entitled "Incarnate", and the subsequent tour. In 2015, Steve Rothery Band and Mr So&So guitarist, Dave Foster, appeared onstage with Panic Room as a session player on their Wildfire Tour and also played on their Kickstarter funded acoustic album Essence, before subsequently joining the band as a full member. '''Essence' was released as a single CD album and also as a special edition with a DVD containing 'The Making Of Essence': a documentary film of the production of the album.
