Panthers is a rock band from Brooklyn, NY. The Village Voice has described them as "groundbreaking dissonant HC (hardcore) with Rolling Stones swagger." [1] Three members were previously in the hardcore band Orchid.[2] Panthers have released four records. The most recent two, "The Trick" and "Things Are Strange" were released on Vice Records (home of The Streets, Death from Above 1979, Bloc Party, and others). Prior to that they had found their homes on Dim Mak Records and Troubleman Unlimited.

They began as a side project by members of the bands Orchid, Turing Machine, and The Red Scare. [3]
