PANIK FLOWER

Brooklyn's PANIK FLOWER crafts dreamy, grunge-infused soundscapes that balance hazy nostalgia with sharp introspection. Formed in early 2022, the band—fronted by Sage Leopold (vocals) and featuring Mila Stieglitz-Courtney (guitar/vocals), Jordan Buzzell (guitar), Max Baird (bass), and Marco Starger (drums)—quickly carved out a space in NYC’s DIY scene with their blend of pedal-heavy guitars and candid lyricism. Their 2023 debut EP *Dark Blue* introduced their signature mix of soft harmonies and hard-hitting instrumentals, while 2025’s *rearview* EP delves deeper into themes of identity and digital-age anxiety, highlighted by singles like the spiraling "ocd" and the yearning "alkaline".

Known for their dynamic live shows across venues like 3 Dollar Bill and Heaven Can Wait, PANIK FLOWER’s music thrives on contrast—pairing lush textures with jagged rhythms and wrapping raw emotional themes in reverb-soaked melodies. Their recent work leans into spoken-word experimentation and rhythm-driven tension, solidifying their growth as a band unafraid to dissect modern life’s chaotic beauty.
