Here is a clear example of pure talent. The hard rock band Pan.a.ce.a has recently released 'We the Broken,' a record their loyal fans (including us) have been eagerly awaiting.   We here at Rock on Request have been huge fans of this band for years, and can assure you that they are a true powerhouse that has not gotten the recognition they deserve.

Helming from Wilkes-Barre, PA, the band has been playing locally for years now. They are a bit more hard rock than Breaking Benjamin, another talented band from their area, and their sound sets them apart from any other band in their genre. Their work is being recorded by Bret Alexander, who has recorded not only their previous work but the first album from Breaking Benjamin that led to their major record label deal.

With hard hitting guitar riffs, intense drumming, and soulful vocals from frontman Tim Farley, the band brings a unique blend of true rock and exceptional lyricism together in a way other bands could only aspire to accomplish.   The things we have loved about this band's previous two releases are still the true selling points for us where 'We The Broken' is concerned.  There are definitely heart-pumping rock tracks on this record, but Pan.a.ce.a can throw in a song like 'Stay' in the lineup and remind us just how effective a romantic diversion can be in the midst of a rock-filled adrenaline rush. 

Featuring Tim Farley on vocals, Kevin Harry on drums, Matt Jaffin on bass and Paul Young on guitar, this group has become local heroes in their community and has never faltered throughout their career, but has instead continued to put out great music. The band has been named best regional band five times and has been awarded album of the year in the region twice. They truly represent the original music scene, and their latest album has definitely raised the bar.  It is only a matter of time before these guys become global sensations.
