Panic! at the Disco Reflects: 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' Turns 10
The mid-aughts are often looked at as the golden age of pop-punk and its darker sister, emo. The world was just coming around to bands like My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy, and in their small corner of Tennessee, a group called Paramore was just forming. Most of these acts hailed from suburbs all around the country, all of them sharing in a mutual distaste for their hometown. Panic! at the Disco, the odd men of the bunch, were from Las Vegas, good Mormon boys obsessed with vaudevillian theatrics. For a moment, they were the biggest thing, and it all starts at the beginning: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, their debut LP.
The record was released on September 27, 2005, making this its 10-year anniversary. We sat down with the devilishly charismatic frontman Brendon Urie for an intimate look back on the record that would launch them into superstardom.
