The band was signed by Fall Out boy bassist Pete Wentz to his label Decaydance Records, DCD2 Records, and their first album "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" was released in September 2005. This album contains one of "Panic at the Disco's!" most well known song, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies."Brendon Boyd Urie was born in St. George, Utah and raised in Summerlin, Nevada.

(about Las Vegas) It sucks. It's horrible. There's no places to play. There's no real support for bands. No one really cares. Everyone plays death metal or post-hardcore screamo, and that's pretty much it. Everyone sounds the same. Show less «

(on people calling Panic At The Disco "emo") It's ignorant! The stereotype is guys that are weak and have failing relationships write about how sad they are. If you listen to our songs, not one of them has that tone. Emo is bullsh*t! If people want to take it for the literal sense of the word, yes we're an emotional band, we put a lot of thought into what we do. People always try to stereotype us, but we don't fit the emo stereotype. Show less «

(on the band members)We're weird guys. I don't know if a lot of people get our humor. A lot of people probably think we're jerks. We're real sarcastic. Really ironic and stuff. We mean well, but we joke around probably a lot more than we should. Show less «

(on how he felt about being voted as Worst Band of 2007 by NME) I don't know. I don't care. It's like if we really cared in high school about like, who won best dressed or who got best eyes, you know. It's just like a popularity contest that we don't really care to run in. Show less «

(speaking about "Folkin' Around," a song from Panic's album "Pretty. Odd.") The song is very light-hearted, it's just a bit of fun. For a couple of tracks [the rest of the band] let me explore the boundaries. Show less «

Ryan, I think, writes great lyrics. He's really mature for his age. He's a different thinker.

(when asked what advice he'd give to other young bands) My advice would be to take time with the music and writing, rather than just getting a song done, really thrown together, and go play a show. Live shows, for us at least, back home in Vegas, don't seem to do anything. Bands can be playing for seven years and never get anything done. So, I guess, practice more and write music carefully.

(when asked how he describes the band's music) I don't know. We don't really fall under a label. It's generally based around rock music, but I guess, theatrical rock? I don't know. I can't really describe it. I suck at that. Show less «
