However it is just a bit unclear who they feel that they are under scrutiny from, other than themselves. “We just really wanted to
bust our ass to make a record that we were proud of.” Holliday says. “We just said screw everything; screw the production and
the way it’s suppose to be. Screw what everyone thinks, what our fans think, screw what even our label thinks. Let’s just make a
record that would really impress us this time around we took our time. Something that we spent 1 hour on, on the last record, this
time we spent 10 hours on it. The whole idea was to just put our whole record underneath a microscope.” Colton Holliday
vocalist explains.
Panic Division’s writing process may seem a little unorthodox. Unlike most bands that fuse electronics into their rock songs, they’
ll place the electronics around a riff; The Panic Division will make a sample or a loop and then actually build a song around it. “I’
ve always had an infatuation with electronic music.” Holliday proclaims as he takes a long drag off his cigarette. That’s a
statement that may catch some people off guard considering that Panic Division for their debut on Militia Group, Versus, their
punkier emo debut. Something of a 360 from it’s follow up. “It’s almost like a completely different band, which may push people
away.” Colton says with a shrug of his shoulders, not really seeming to care either way, which thus far has been Panic Division’s
MO. Holliday pulled out all the stops even going as far as writing the whole record at a lake house that he use to spend his
summers at as a child. “I just always thought it would be a cool place to write a record.” Holliday comments. PD even covers a
song from the 80’s pop group Mister, Mister’s Broken Wings. Most of you probably don’t even recall Mister, Mister, but those
of you that do know Mister, Mister are most likely scratching your head. “We were in my car, and that song [Broken Wings]
came on, and we were laughing about it, and it’s one of those songs that kind of cheesy, but you really enjoy listening to it.”
Wilson remembers. “Everyone is always told us that we sound 80’s, not that we were trying to be, so I said let’s do it.” Holliday
recalls. So does Holliday think that Songs from the Glasshouse will put Panic Division on the map? When the question is put to
Holliday he just gets a devilish grin on his face, as he takes a long drag off his cigarette, “Well, I hope so.” He singly remarks.
