LA quintet Panic In Eden are modern day classic rock band. Their debut album In the Company of Vultures touches base with the Allman Brothers, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and umpteenth other acts form the Sixties and Seventies. Besides dwelling in the pantheon of acts from the heyday of pop music there is also a bit of Soundgarden (Out for Blood), Foreigner (War on the Rocks) and Lenny Kravitz (Who's To Blame?).
They paint with broad strokes mostly, building a rock solid wall of guitars, bass and drums, but they end the album with two songs that break out the mold of rock: the self-explanatory The Waltz, with a nod to the guiar tone of Brian May, and the vaudevillian folk song A Revelation at Its Finest.
Panic In Eden sounds like dozens of other bands, but their musical prowess and their ability to change things up mid-song saves them for the "epigone" tag. They wear their influences proudly an boldly on their sleeves and use it as launchpad for an in-your-face album that should be played loud.
