Brendon Urie reflects on Panic!’s early days in new single Local God

Panic! At The Disco have shared one final single before they release new album Viva Las Vengeance on August 19.

Brendon Urie’s latest effort – following previous singles Middle Of A Breakup and the title-track – goes by the name Local God, and seemingly looks back at the start of the emo titans’ career. ‘We signed a record deal at 17,’ the frontman sings in the second verse. ‘Hated by every local band / They said we never paid our dues / But what does that mean? / When money never changes hands / It’s 2021 and I’m almost famous…’

It also seemingly ties in with the VLV theme as a whole, with Brendon previously revealing: “Viva Las Vengeance is a look back at who I was 17 years ago and who I am now with the fondness I didn't have before. I didn’t realise I was making an album and there was something about the tape machine that kept me honest.”
