Panic Room is a Welsh band founded by former Karnataka members Jonathan Edwards, Gavin Griffiths, Paul Davies, and Anne-Marie Helder, along with bassist Alun Vaughan, in 2007.

They released their debut album Visionary Position in early 2008. In August 2009, it was announced that pre-orders were being taken for their upcoming second studio album Satellite. A UK tour was done in September, October and November 2009 supporting the upcoming release of Satellite. The pre-release version was released in December 2009 with the retail copy released in early 2010. On July 28, 2010 it was announced on the band's website that founding bass player Alun Vaughan had left the band and had been replaced by Yatim Halimi.[1]

On March 4th, 2013, it was announced that Paul Davies was leaving the band for personal reasons.[2] Touring commitments were fulfilled with Morpheus Rising guitarist Pete Harwood filling the void left by Davies, with Adam O'Sullivan joining the band in Davies' stead in August 2013, for the recording of the band's fourth album, entitled "Incarnate".[3] It is unknown at this time as to whether O'Sullivan will join the band in an official capacity.

Griffiths and Helder are also both members of Mostly Autumn, whilst Edwards and Helder also perform together in the duo Luna Rossa.
