Panthers is a rock band from Brooklyn, NY. The Village Voice has described them as "groundbreaking dissonant HC [ hardcore ] with Rolling Stones swagger." [1] They were formed from members of the hardcore band Orchid. Panthers has released three records. The most recent, "Things Are Strange" was released on Vice Records (home of The Streets, Death from Above 1979, Bloc Party, and others) in 2004.

They began as a side project by members of the bands Orchid, Turing Machine, and The Red Scare.

In early 2007 it was announced that Panthers would release their third album, to be titled The Trick, on April 10 and will be playing South by Southwest the month before. [2]
