Panchiko

Panchiko ( pan-CHEE-koh) are a British indie rock band originating from Nottingham, England. Formed between 1997 and 1998, the band originally consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Owain Davies, guitarist/keyboardist Andrew "Andy" Wright, bassist Shaun Ferreday, and a drummer named John. A year after the revival of Panchiko in 2020, they were joined by guitarist Robert "Rob" Harris and John Schofield, who replaced their original drummer. The band first received public attention in 2016 when their 2000 demo EP D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L was discovered by a 4chan user in a charity shop in Sherwood, Nottingham and shared online through the music discussion section of the messageboard; the disc was notably distorted due to disc rot, lending further mystery to the EP, leading to a dedicated cult following and a community devoted to tracking down the band. This was unbeknownst to the band until 2020, when Davies was found and contacted by a fan through Facebook. Panchiko have since released two compilation albums remastering their older music: a reissue of D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L combining their first two EPs and Ferric Oxide (Demos 1997-2001). In December 2021, the band performed their first show in over twenty years in their hometown of Nottingham, after which they embarked on their first tour in the United States. The band's debut album Failed at Math(s) was released on 5 May 2023, followed by their second full tour in the United States. Their second studio album, Ginkgo, was released on 4 April 2025. In November 2021, they amassed over ten million streams on Spotify. As of January 2025, they have over 1.45 million monthly listeners.
