Shortly after the band’s inception the group got to work on their song-writing and recorded their first demo release titled Riffs Or Die Demo 2016. The release was met with such a positive response that within a short while the band had sold out of physical copies, a testament to not only the band’s music but also their sound engineering skills.
Recently, the band have just wrapped up their Riffs Or Die NSW Tour 2017 which saw the band tour through every major town in NSW including a show to over 650 people at a Rock’n’Roll wrestling event featuring WWE superstar Ryback and then a sell-out headline show at Rad Bar Wollongong.
The band are currently recording a new single that will be released early next year with their current line-up of Mitch Gruevski on bass and vocals, Danny Ritz on guitar and vocals and Tom Stance on drums.
See Pänik live as they support Segression and Frankenbok at the Unibar on October 13 or catch them at their own headline show at Dicey Rileys on October 28.
