Panic is the seventh full-length album by the band MxPx It was released on June 6, 2005- internationally and a day later in the United States. This was a breakthrough album when the single "Heard That Sound" proved a minor radio hit. It also featured the Blink-182/+44 singer-bassist Mark Hoppus on "Wrecking Hotel Rooms." Two B-sides (an unreleased track called "Arrest Me" and a live/acoustic version of "Waiting For The World To End") were released on a SideOneDummy sampler in 2005. It also leaves the pop punk sound off their previous album and returns to their skate punk/punk rock roots.[3][4]
