Perfectionists, exceptional songwriters and chaotic yet controlled performers with limitless energy, Pan.a.ce.a has indisputably mastered the skills required for success in today's music industry.

Pan.a.ce.a is a melodic hard rock band hailing from Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Following their signing with management firm Susquehanna Entertainment and the rerelease of their full length debut, the band is preparing to unleash their latest full length effort, "We the Broken," on Oct. 20. The highly anticipated release comes from a band who is known to play "some of the most intense, melodic and gut-driven modern rock," according to Rock on Request magazine.

We the Broken combines Pan.a.ce.a's growth and maturity with major hooks and significant replay value. "There are both musical and lyrical elements within each song that really speak for themselves and bring a lot of color and character to the album as a whole," said vocalist Tim Farley. The album includes 13 tracks and was produced by Bret Alexander, who has worked with bands such as The Badlees and Breaking Benjamin. Three tracks from the album, including the lead single "Too Little Too Late," were co-produced by Breaking Benjamin guitarist Aaron Fink.

The forces behind Pan.a.ce.a are vocalist Tim Farley, drummer Kevin Harry, bassist Matt Jaffin and guitarist Paul Young. Since their previous release, the band has grown exponentially both internally and externally. Undeniably passionate and unquestionably energetic, this quartet's evolving maturity and artistry shine through on We the Broken. Each individual band member has a vested emotional interest in each composition, ensuring that each song is not only played but also felt.

Before signing with management in Oct. 2008, Pan.a.ce.a independently sold over 5,000 CDs and was consistently crowned the number one original rock act in Northeast Pa. They've shared the stage with Alice in Chains, Velvet Revolver, Breaking Benjamin, 10 Years and most recently, Rev Theory and Hinder. Always bringing the rock and ruckus, Pan.a.ce.a "belonged on that stage with [Hinder and Rev Theory] and many people in the audience confirmed that," said Farley.

Coinciding with the release of "We the Broken," Pan.a.ce.a is planning an extensive tour, including radio appearances and retail in-store performances. The hardworking and determined band is already working on songs for their next release.

With a well oiled marketing and promotional machine running smoothly and an enthusiastic fan base, Pan.a.ce.a is sure to deliver an extraordinary musical journey with the upcoming release. According to Farley, the band's bond has never been stronger and they "plan on taking Pan.a.ce.a to the highest level possible and are unwaveringly committed to achieving [their] highest ambitions together."
