ABOUT THE BAND:
Emerging from the vibrancy of Chicago’s alternative rock scene, Panther Style are more than just another four-piece outlet – they’re a sonic force to be reckoned with. Composed of seasoned musicians Jeanne McClure, Al Rodis, Dan Lutger, and Melissa Koehl, each member brings a wealth of experience and a unique musical perspective to the table. Their journey began amidst the echoes of Dyslexic Apaches, a band that etched its name into the annals of Chicago’s music history and comprised both Al and Dan. After going their separate ways they realised their combined chemistry couldnt be ignored. Melissa and Jeanne were then brought on board due to their exceptional skill sets, completing the lineup of what would become Panther Style—a reflection of enduring friendship and shared intense musical passion. Rooted in the groove-laden riffs of 90s alternative rock, Panther Style’s sound pays homage to icons like The Cult and Jane’s Addiction while injecting a contemporary edge. Plucking elements (yet never overstepping the line into pastiche) from diverse influences including New Order, Van Halen, and Chicago legends Naked Raygun, the band prides themselves on their ability to formulate soundscapes that are both nostalgic and refreshingly original. Their debut album, “¡Emergencia!”, reflects the authenticity and organic nature of Panther Style. Recorded straight to tape, the album captures the raw energy and vitality of Panther Style’s live performances, eschewing studio polish for a more organic sound. The result is a collection of tracks that pulse with life, each one teeming with a palpable intensity As they gear up to release their latest EP, “Dynasty,” Panther Style continues to push the boundaries of alternative rock, infusing each song with a vibrant energy that keeps the flame of great music alive and burning bright. With Panther Style at the helm, the future of alternative rock has never looked more promising.
