DESCRIPTION:
The Panic Division was formed by three members of the post-hardcore group Carbon 12 Theory, who added a drummer and keyboardist to their lineup to form the present group.[1] The group moved towards a more electronic, synthpop sound and released their debut, Versus, on The Militia Group, who signed them to a multi-album deal, in November 2005.[2] Several of the songs they had recorded on Carbon 12 Theory's full-length 2003 release, 20 Years Unfold, were re-recorded for the Versus album. The band was named SPIN Band of the Day on November 1, 2005.[3] The group toured extensively behind the record.[1] Drummer James Castillo left the band and was replaced by current drummer Jesse Garcia. Their sophomore effort, Songs from the Glasshouse, was released in 2007, also on Militia. Shortly after the release of the album however, Daniel Stanush left the band, leaving them looking for a replacement. In February 2008 the band announced a hiatus while Colton Holliday completed a solo electronic project.
