Panic Shack
12th October 2025

Panic Shack, a Welsh five-piece punk band, emerged onto the music scene in 2018. Their lineup includes Sarah Harvey (lead vocals), Meg Fretwell (guitar, backing vocals), Romi Lawrence (guitar, backing vocals), Emily Smith (bass), and Nick Doherty-Williams (drums). Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of punk, Panic Shack blends it with a keen sense of identity, wit, and melody.

Formed in Cardiff, Wales, Panic Shack took matters into their own hands. Dissatisfied with the male-dominated music industry, most band members learned their instruments from scratch. Their goal was to carve out a space within the local Cardiff scene and beyond, releasing their music through the independent Welsh label Clwb Creative Records.
