Hometown: Baltimore, MD

Sounds Like: Every Time I Die, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Drive Like Jehu, Tom Waits, The Jesus Lizard
Genre: Metal
It’s like punk, but with more musicianship. Maybe it’s actually prog, but prog that never went to Berkeley. Then again,maybe it’s metal, but without all the spiky leather. Or perhaps it’s hardcore, but more Greg Ginn and less Jamey Jasta.
Regardless of all that, it’s fast, loud, techy, geeky, and strange.
Imagine a guitar-playing truck from the future colliding with a rainbow-powered robot. Imagine that their relationship is complex and murky. Imagine that the preserved corpse of Lenin is driving the truck, reanimated by the future ghost of Wil Wheaton. Imagine that the robot was built to recently-discovered blueprints bearing the signature “J. Kirby.” Pandas sound nothing like that, but it would be great if they did.

"If the Matrimonials weren't the best band of all time, then Pandas would be."
Edan Perrigo - The Matrimonial Weekly
"Pandas, a very interesting band from Baltimore."
Unmutual Radio Podcast
“Describing what Pandas do on their Maximum Fucking Tenderness EP is as difficult as one might guess from such a name... Let's try it, though: spazzy rock with minor flashes of grind-y/tech-y metallic hardcore? Kind of”
Brian - Punknews.org
